Default Dead Sled?

Anybody use the Dead Sled to drag your deer? What were your experiences? Worth the $$?

Tried one a few times. Others may like it, but I found it a major P I T A. First, it didn't want to stay unrolled while I was trying to load it. After getting the deer strapped in, it continuously worked it's way out of the thing and I'd have to stop to get it strapped back in. If you have any terrain other than flat, open, ground, I'd forget it. The clencher for me was that the plastic became brittle on a cold day and the strap points all broke. I went back and spent the money on a Cabela's Super Mag hauler and I wish now I would have put the $30 bucks I spend on the Dead Sled toward it instead.

Had pretty much an identical experience, the only positive for me was that I didn't pay for the POS.

Put me on the P.I.T.A list. A good sled works best for me if I don't just use the orange strap that came with the D Sled.
