If you are hunting wetlands or marshy areas you may want to get something with wide tires, other than thatmost of them will work fine in the woods or fields.

I use this onehttp://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0020698225958a&type=product&cm Cat=SEARCH&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=game+cart&N=4887&am p;Ntk=Products&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&amp ;Ntt=game+cart&noImage=0

I chose the mag wheel type because it is to easy to damage spokes.The cart works awesome.I use it to carry my tree stand and gear into the woods also.The only complaint I have is it is noisey.The pins that assemble it together rattle and make alot of noise.You could probably quite it down with some heat shrink tubing and electrical tape.

Default RE: game carts

Be careful which one you get. The ones that operate like a handcart are useless in my opinion. I think the best are the ones with the big bicycle type tires and the weight is balanced over the tires.

BAD: Hard to balance over uneven terrain/

BETTER: Someone makes one similar to this that has the wheels tilted in at the top which adds to stability. I'm not saying necessarily to buy this one, just the way the load is distributed is better. In the top one you're holding all the weight on your hands.

I have used Rick's ESV Outback Viper. It is a quality electric vehicle that has an amazing amount of power.

This is a cart I bought after last season, made by Big Game. I've not had the opportunity to use it yet. Its pretty simple to take it down and put together for hauling in your truck bed. Rated at 500 lb. capacity. I'll be adding spoke covers for protection.

I have this one...it's one of the best things I bought. I've rolled this thing over everything, balances the load great. Folds down nicely to fit in my SUV. The only thing I would suggest doing (if not done to the newer models)is to replace the clips to a different type as theylike to fall out.

Stay away from the ones with the plastic spokes they break real easy, you get what you pay for with carts but they sure are great to have with the big midwest bucks.. Walt
