I put bigger wheels on it so it goes over walls and down trees better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012_taco Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 5 minutes ago, turkeyfeathers said: Key is don’t tie rope directly to grommets to pull. Run rope thru then around head and drag as normal. The grommets just tie the sled around the deer, it has a separate rope at front to drag. The straps at the grommets got caught on saplings or other woods stuff and ripped out. Your "burrito" looks like it wraps more around the deer therefore less chance of getting caught on the crap you need to drag it through? i assume?

cbyzerman Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I usually pull the deer to a spot where its on a hill and a back the truck to where tailgate is right even with deer......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisw Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Yep, if it's a doe I hold her back feet while I get up in the truck bed and pull her up, for a buck I do the same but hold the antlers. Never had any trouble. Sent from my moto g(6) using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I have the sherpa game cart that makes my summit viper into a cart. I like it. I did buy a jet sled, though, the white snow one (don't buy the tiny one) and it works very well. Well built and won't get caught up on crap. I've given up taking my recovery tools into the woods, so I'll just go back to the car for them. As such the bulk doesn't really matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airedale Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) For me the answer to the OP's question is yes. For dragging I have always used a cheap commercial shoulder harness setup with a rope with me being the mule. Never had anything special to get them into truck, never killed a 300 pounder so I could manage to somehow wrestle, pull, yank and lift them into or onto the vehicle and by no means was it easy.

This is what I do. I rachet the deer to a metal wire rack about this same size and lift one end and lean it in the truck bed and then slide the rest in kind of like a gurney.

Can buy premade or make your own angle iron frame and 4x4 sheet of plywood bolted on,if you make it heavy duty can bring out a cord of wood stacked on it, make a box and take all your tools with you and leave bucket open for work.. also works to carry multiple stands and sticks in to hang in one trip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Have some old fork lift tines with plenty of steel around to make one. It will, most likely weigh 3- 400 pounds. Lift cabbage tote boxes out of the field with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlot Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 On 9/24/2019 at 6:24 AM, turkeyfeathers said: I made a “ venison burrito “ out of the old dome material. 6x4’ with 3 grommets on each side which I cinch tight with deer in it. 2 holes at head end which I run tow rope thru and then tie rope around head as normal. Dragged a few deer out with it and it cut friction down 50-60% easy. No more hang ups on sticks , pulls right over blow down logs , multiple barb wire fences , thru swamp and trout stream. Slid extra well on little snow. So much in fact I had troubles on descending hills controlling the slide. I should have made a whole bunch of these. Dragging one out a mile and half used to suck without it. Since lost that dirt to hunt and now will rely on kabota , side by side , 3 wheeler uber. TF, I had some scrap house wrap laying around and some grommets and made my own little venison burrito deer wrap. Hope I have a chance to use it. Great idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I have a chance to use it. Great idea. I gave TF some props in the harvest thread for this idea - mine is a heavy duty advertisement sign from Ashley Furniture that they were using ad a drop cloth. The tip to still keep the drag rope on the deer is critical.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
