Crittergetter> that deer sleigh is a slick little deal. Never mind what these yahoos say. On level ground you walk along like the deer isn't there. Up hill you'll find it equally easy. Downhill it'll run over you if you aren't careful. They tell you to lay it on it's back like in the picture. I've found the deer wants to flop over on his side so I now just lay him on his side . It appears the deer has no legs because you fold them up. My version doesn't have this cover. I don't know how that would work. Mine just had some cheap twine you fed back and forth through some gromets. I got some better grade braided rope and put a couple old barrells off some calls on for handles. If I'm going deep into the woods I have the thing rolled up and packed on my stand going in. If I'm close to the road I just use my full body harness Prusic rope around the deers horns. This year I have a 4 wheeler for places I can use it.
