deer drag.

Post by biglever » Mon Jul 25, 2016 6:49 pm

Looking for ideas
Up in the Adirondack's were I hunt the northern zone. You can't use any motorized vehicles.
To get you game out.
And as a official senior now. And hunting up there by myself, if I drop something big. There is no way I am going to get it out in one piece.
So last yr.I picked up a neat two bladed saw
One bone blade the other wood.
I just seen a ,sled LL bean. Looks like it rolls
Up. And has 3 straps to tie down gear or what ever
You need to transport. Says it's good for uneven ground., I like that. Cuz the Adirondack s
Has a lot of that.

I have had a roll-up sled (or mat) for several years. Do not remember where I got it. It has grommets for lashing the deer to the mat and grommets for tow ropes. I have used it many times.
If you are dragging a deer through woods or grass it glides easily. If you get to a plowed field (like we have in Illinois) it will wear you down pretty quick. Too bad you are not allowed to use motorized vehicles - because it works great if dragging with a 4-wheeler.
We have some hills and hollers here but would not compare to what you deal with.

My buddy and I hunt mostly in the Wildlife Management Areas here in South Carolina. There are "fire" roads running through the areas. No vehicle traffic allowed, but the roads are pretty decent. Buddy keeps a wheeled cart in this truck. Drag animal to nearest road, and the other guy goes to the truck and brings back the cart. Works well for out situation.

This is similar to the drag that I have. It may be where I got mine years ago.

Shame on me, I just drove 20 miles to our LL Bean
Store. Never set foot in the place before, and by the way , won't again.
I thought the place to by a LL Bean. Game drag
Would be in one of there stores. WRONG.
I didn't see one thing for hunting, maybe a flashlight.
