No, never thought about that. But with my way you half the weight, so basically you would be doing the same, and if you wanted to carry more rope, you could add a different pulley and quarter the weight. Hey, where there is a will, there is a way.

Hell, if I really wanted to, I could keep a few hundred feet of rope, grab a buddy, and winch them up 25 feet at a time while I just steer the deer away from trees and rocks. I like the loner method though, it's all part of the process to me.

Also, I should note, once you set up this sytem, you just take the ratchet off the tree, the pulley and rope stay on it and you just go to a higher spot and reratchet, you don't have to do anything other setup with the rope or the deer. It's really not that bad, the drag is the easy part, the rifle, the sticks, the bag, and walking the hill twice is the pain in the butt of it.
