So most use game carts, anyone have any specific brands or kinds they use and why ?

Anyone know of any that hook to a bike?

They make little "strollers" to put a couple of toddlers in and tow behind a bike. They can be converted to a pretty functional game cart for just about anything you'd kill down here and want to haul out. I got one off craigslist last year for somebody when they were looking for one. Can usually find them for about $50, maybe less. Take it down to the aluminum frame, axle and wheels, then maybe use some plywood or expanded metal to create a platform for putting your gear/kill on and strengthen it up a mite.

I've got one sitting in my storage unit waiting to be modified that looks something like the one in the image below. Mine has round tubing, not square, but you get the idea:

You need to ask that question,you need to hand in your man card. Get a drag rope and get humping.

Don't sweat it. I used to scoff and snicker at those guys hauling out their game on their carts......until I had to drag something for hundreds of yards.
If you can find one with the longer axle/wheelbase I think they work better. The smaller ones have a tendency to tip over due to top heavy.

Anyone that hunts public land, or a lease where you can't get a 4 wheeler to your game,,,,you are doing yourself a disservice by not owning a game cart. They make life easy, and I have had some bad nasty drags in my life.
Matter of fact, they have given me the confidence to hunt rough places that I wouldn't hunt before. You can get one from Dickssoprting goods or Sportsmans guide for $50. Only thing I did was got to Lowes and get better locking pins, and I extended the handle with some EMT conduit to save my back. I'll bet I have hauled over 50 animals on mine
They flat out are a Godsend and I never leave camp w/o mine

Only thing I do like if I don't have my cart is using the tree safety harness and tree tether rope as a drag. That works ok, but not even close to a cart
