Yeah, not so much. These sleds are 5' long and pretty heavy duty. I'm 6'6" and 230 pounds and I fit in one. When is the last time you killed a deer that big?

Another vote for Cabela's SuperMag. It has solid tires, large wheels, folds down, and well made.

Mine goes through anything, doesn't tip over,great large solid tires. Just be careful of the clips that hold it together, they tend to fall out. I've replaced the originals with a different type.

RE: Which game cart to buy?
Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
I bought a home-made cart from a guy that works at Gander Mountain. It is made of 1" square aluminum tubing, with 20" bicycle wheels that come off with just a crescent wrench.
I took 12" off of the back end and 8" off of the front, it was way too big, and wouldn'tfit inthe back of a small truck or van. Now the overall length is 52". With the 20" wheels it rolls over logs and suchnicely. Now to try it out with a deer loaded on.
Merry Christmas and Good Hunting,
