Default RE: How do you get your deer into the truck bed


Back in the day I used to have to lift them into the trunk of my Park Avenue...that didn't make anybody happy.


I do it a couple of different ways. If you have a hill to back into that is great but that isn't always available.

I have a big sheet of plywood that I reinforced with 2X4's that just fits between my wheel wells. I pull this out and leave one end on my tail gate and the other on the ground. I pull the deer as far up on the plywood that I can and then lift the whole thing up and slide it forward. That is much easier than wrestling with a bloody buck.

If you own a game cart the 2nd method I have is easier. I have two 2X12's that arearound five foot long. Again I leave one end of the boardon the tail gate and one on the ground. I space the boards so they are centered on the wheels of the game cart. I pull the cart up to the boards jump up in the bed of the truck and then pull the cart up the "ramps"....works great! Just make sure your momentum doesn't put the handle of the game cart through the back window of your vehicle.[]
