Background: I am in my late 40's, nearly 300 pounds, 5"11...with a problematic shoulder. I've got an XOP Air Raid, 4 Hawk Helium long sticks...My problem is that I have to hike in about 3/4 of a mile {I know, does not sound like much, but see above...middle aged, heavy!) and the gear is simply too heavy to carry in. I am reasonably fit, despite my weight, but I am also a little scared of heights, so I feel like short sticks and aider isn't for me.
I am looking for advice on how to get the stuff into the woods. I was thinking of something like a garden cart with all terrain wheels or something. Anybody use something like that? Recommendations?
I do currently hunt from the ground in a low seat and a ghillie suit and that has worked OK but especially in late season, I need to get into the thicker woods and sight lines from the ground are a disaster.
