In 1996 I shot this buck on top of Great North Mountain which separates va/wv, dragged him 1.6 miles to the road, promised myself that day I would never do that to myself, shot the buck at 9:20, loaded him at 5:05.

I then made this

dragged many of deer out on it, and one 200# bear, my hunting area was .9 miles from my truck, took an hour to get the bear out, worked like a charm. that was when most of my hunting was NF and no ATV's allowed, now I hunt all private land so this is the way to go
