@@SamkoTradBow I made 2 found them thru Home Depot several years ago they are lighter and inexpensive made in Michigan I think if I remember correctly. I bought pvc pipe to make pull poles . Did a video too on it
I set mine up with pvc staves so that you can just clip it to a hip belt so you can pull up or down hills all hands free. Works of course better in snow
As I’m getting older I struggle to get my deer into my wheeled cart… especially if there is no tree to prop the nose of the cart up into a tree, thus dropping the bottom on the ground, as I’ve done for years. Several ideas: I was thinking of getting a sled to put the deer in by turning the jet sled on its side and rolling the deer into it. 1. I could then drag it to my Polaris and either tow the sled on the sandy roads in my camp OR 2. slide the sled into my wheeled cart (21’ wide) 3. OR tilt the bed of my Polaris (3’ wide- to avoid box I have mounted on the side) and push the sled right into the back of the Polaris, flatten out the bed and drive back to camp. Your thoughts… What is the width of the outside (gunnel to gunnel). I have the smaller Polaris. Thanks
All great ideas. Tipping the sled on its side is the best way to load huge deer into it. Lay deer on side. Put sled standing on its side against deers back, pick up legs and fill the deer and sled over all at once. The sped is rigged enough to prop the front on a tailgate and then lft the rear and slide right in. The sled is also very easy to tow behind anything. When I hunted private land I would strap the sled on the back of my quad to hod all my gear. When I killed a deer I would tow the deer in the sled across that 1200 acres up and down hills and unless you tow over gravel you barely get any wear on the sled.
I just had a thought i wonder if , in a pinch would one of those support your weight to cross a small body of water. I will have to try that this summer.
I always wanted one of these. I live down here in the same area as you do now. How well will it hold up on rock and hard dirt. I want to use it for deer and hogs.
Rocks will scratch and gouge it and eventually wear holes in in. But anything else they work great on. especially in the swamps down here. only place there are not good on is sand. there are hard to drag on soft sand. the more debris, sticks, leaves, etc the better and they go over dead falls like a champ.
Shot a small doe. Friend threw it in the sled. He is in his 70's and dragged it across a picked corn field inside the sled about 100 yards, no problem. His was the extra large size. @@SamkoTradBow
