Way to go!!  Nice deer.

From the looks of it that buck has got some weight to him.  Those carts are back savers arent they?

[heatmizzer]

that cart is almost 40 years old. it has brought alot of deer out of the woods. it was really great before atv's came around. but boy it sure beats a long drag.

[steve863]

Does that cart have two wheels??  Maybe the second wheel just isn't visible in the picture, but I surely can't see a second wheel?

[heatmizzer]

no the cart only has one wheel

[steve863]

Interesting.  Never saw one with one wheel.  I guess it's a two man only cart because I can imagine one guy alone would have one heck of a time handling it, especially with a big deer like that.
