Default RE: Best way to get deer from field to truck

If it is doable, I will drag the deer to the closest area i can drive to. I will use a tarp or garbage bag to set the deer on (if no snow), then tie a piece of rope around the horns or neck and drag with it around my waist(a c postion this way the arms don't get tired). If not doable, like this years deer, i caped and quarter the deer on the spot and carried it out in 2 trips.

Oh yeah a game cart or atv will work nicely as well.


To load the deer from ground to truck, I made a 6 foot ladder out of scrap 2x2 lumber from my wood shop. Then place the deers on it, rope it to the ladder and lift one end up(set on the end gate) and then slide the rest on....very easy for one guy to do. A small extension ladder will work as well. (I think this is what duffy does....at least he wrote an article for Big Buck on it) But it really works nicely, even with 2 guys, since the deer are so floppy...try it!
