It actually works quite good. A deer wrapped up in it will slide along with a lot less effort than just fur on the ground. Plus likeI mentioned it has many other uses. Once I used it to wait out a pretty nasty rain storm (kept me dry) once the storm broke I shot a deer and that thing slid so easy I couldn't believe it. I used a nice pine limb to fabricate a yoke and off I went.

Yep a tarp and some good rope can be used for lots of things in the field. I buy the 8x8 tarp so it doesn't take up too much room in my pack.
