Ye of little faith. A little skip through the woods looks fine. Im talking about being miles back. Like miles miles. In the mountains. Where it isnt flat. I know it looks tippy but i carted the wife around last night and its great. I bent the frame by the wheel to lower the center of gravity too. Ill be able to shuttle 150lb easy in one go. Just looking to make it easier and quicker when going back in for the next load.

D.T. looks like it should pull just fine, especially if you get the meat balanced well and strapped on. Good job. It'll be nice and compact to get through smaller spots and no trouble to carry in dissembled.

I made one very similar years ago for going back in when I hunted W.V. the only difference is I used a wheelchair wheel for the extra ground clearance and no chance of it going fat.

We pack out on backs or horse and an extra trip in and out is easier than pushing a wheelbarrow around in the mountains. WOW!






I used to think that but they make hauling deer out a lot easier, You dont push the carts, you can but pulling is pretty easy. The big wheels make going over rocks, small trees laying on the ground a lot easier. I use em to haul trappign gear when I got long walks where I cant take a vehicle back there. You can put a jet sled on it and pull it that way and you dont even have to attach the sled in any way.

I got a 500 lb cow in Pa this year. Used a deer cart to haul her out. It worked but I wouldn’t recommend it

I've hauled a few mule deer out on a 2 wheeled game cart. Found it much easier to pack them out.

i haven't really used it much in Minnesota, but I have used it out west and also in several states while whitetail hunting. Don't knock it until you have tried. it.

And by the way if you think Minnesota is all flat, you need to come for a visit sometime!!!!

I like it, thanks for sharing. Here, I'd probably use a wheelbarrow tire due to soil conditions, but it's still nice when getting and keeping the load balanced.

I like the looks of that design ,with the wheel out on the end and a low center of gravity

I've never used one , and not sure I would ever want to pack an elk out whole, but that design looks like it would work well for a disassembled elk
