Easy loading compared to the truck or the dump bed Rhino ATV we use to haul horse manure this time of year.

I’ve done it with the jet sled, 2 wheel cart, truck (Michigan days) and on my back. But this is by far the best method where I hunt now………when they finally get big enough :).

Learned quite a few years back that a jet sled will float a quartered deer, treestand, bow and pack.

I don't have photos at my fingertips. My recovery vehicle in S.E. Alaska has usually been a skiff with an outboard or a canoe. Often that has been after packing off the mountain on my back if not a lucky easy one taken on the beach.

Going in to recover a deer and just had to take a ride. Volume up on the video. I may have been having to much fun.

Did you know that a sled full of elk meat hurts really bad when it runs over you.

I’ve used this versacart for years. My son has hauled his deer in it. Now his son will, help.

Mdjunior, that’s the best cart ever. I still have mine 20 years later and it’s packed out every deer I’ve killed in Connecticut.

When deadfall is so bad a cart, 4 wheeler, truck or what ever can't be used. Oh, & being a poor man too.

t-roy,,, how many brow tines did that deer have? it looked like either 5 or 6. Beautiful animal. I am a versacart person too.

Old bathtub with or without wheels hmmm. An tarp and drag rope make good light weight drag sled. I'm thinking a wheelbarrel modified for my leapard ebike.

Pat, I credit this site for introducing me to that cart. Mine too has hauled a ton of deer over the 18-20 years I’ve have it.
