Exactly...or one of the roll up, plastic deer drag sleds.i use a sled, even if there is no snow. It works better than dragging the deer by the leg or head.

I've used the hard plastic toboggan kid sleds. I just drilled holes around the edges to tie the deer to it. I found it worked better than the plastic roll-up sleds. It's just a little more awkward carrying it in if you have to go a long distance, but they are light enough.Exactly...or one of the roll up, plastic deer drag sleds.
last year I had to drag a medium sized buck about 1500 yards out of the woods. It was a ton of work and I can’t help but think I was working harder NOT smarter.
Does anyone have any tricks? I would like to hunt even farther in and greatly prefer to NOT bring a sled or some devise into the woods. Should I try a tarp? This is the north east where it’s quite rocky and hilly.
That's a dandy deer. Nice work! And that sled looks like it makes things a tad easier on those bones. I'm 73 and relied on gravity this fall to get one of my deer down off the hill I hunt. A wheeler fetched the other.Used my Jet Sled yesterday. Not a heavy buck, about 150 dressed, 9 points, but way back in the woods. No roads or skid trails nearby. This 71 year old did it all by myself. Hardest part was getting the sled from the ground to the truck bed. I had to back up to a blow down log and hump it in. Going to the meat cutter today, too warm to hang outside. Tenderloins tonite and heart tomorrow.
Just happy to be able to do it still. Makes me stay in shape all year just for the opportunity to hunt these incredible animals.
