I ordered it from Sportsman's guide($59). They sell one similar at duck's, but it is a little more. I like it cause it comes completely apart and stores real easy in the back seat of the truck
i saw that one yesterday def gonna get one, i dragged that doe with my harness by myself..it wasnt bad at first but after the first couple hundred yards or so im thinking damn..this sucks lol
Put a rope around it's neck and get to walking is what I do. Not very fun I think I will invest in a cart.
have 2 bottoms on my lease, if you shoot something in there bring a fork and a lighter. gonna have to cook it right there.
Did that last year in NC.I stuck a 4pt in the bottom of a hollar.BIG misstake I thought I was going to die before I got outa there.I usually use the atv but it was even to steep for that.Live and probaly dont learn Id probaly do it again for the right buck
A guy I was stationed with out in Las Vegas used to hunt elk in Idaho. He said his first hunt up there, he was on a mountainside right after daybreak, and looked across to see a huge bull level with him, only about 250 yards away. He shot the bull, watched it tumble a ways down through the alders and aspens, then realized something - it would take him about 6 hours to get off the mountain he was on and up to where the elk was! Then it took him the rest of the day to butcher the elk, wrap most of the meat up in the hide and get it about 12 feet off the ground, and take the first load down to camp. He went back up the next morning and brought the rest down in three trips. Then he got out his bottle of Maker's Mark and sat his drunk ass in camp for a day trying to recover!
I was elk/mule deer hunting in NW colo early 80's, well over 10,000 feet in waist deep snow trailing fresh muley tracks and the sob just kept going up and up. I think it must have been looking back at me thinking another 100 yds oughta kill him, almost did and I was young in great shape and acclimated to altitude. thank god I didn't bag anything. we had to take mercy on a hunter from arkansas up there and drive him back to his truck, he was in a real bad way and he was walking/hunting on the " road "if you can call it that, 4wd and chains only
I know the feeling. Popped a real nice 6pt up in northern PA only to realize that one 275lb buck + 2 miles to the nearest road = 1 sore, tired, whipped hunter. Took me over 8 hours to drag that thing down hill in 10" of snow. Right after that, I modified my homemade ladder stand. It's only a 12' ladder, but it's stable enough that it doesn't flex when I haul my 250lb ars up in it, and it has 10" pneumatic tires that glide quite easily over most sand, snow, etc. I actually use it to drag all my other stands to my secret spots when I hunt certain WMAs that require a 2-3 mile walk. And, since the ladder is a single piece, once I lock the sucker to the tree, it ain't goin nowhere.
