For several years now I have used a come a long to winch deer/hogs up into the bed of my truck.

I've got to get me 1 of those winches!!!

Got my biggest deer of my life last year.
Also got lucky loading it.
My friend had got an old Ford Bronco fixed up for hunting.
First time out, we stopped 1st at his stand & I drove it on to mine.
My big boy came to my food plot 1/2 hr before dark.
At my shot, he ran about 10 yds.
I was able to back the Bronco into a shallow ditch such that
the trailer hitch carrier was almost at ground level.
Dragged him out & rolled him onto the carrier.
I would have never been able to that deer onto my truck.
Lucky I was in his Bronco - I'm not going to count on luck again.
