deer cart

[pascooter94]

anyone make there own?how and what did you use to make it?

I did, i took a pull behind kid carier for a bike, you know the old plastic kind and welded on some conduit to make it stronger and cut the brush and it works great! i bought it at a garage sale for like $5. the only down fall is its size, with what i welded on it is now 6' long but i need it that long so it would reach the tailgate and slide right into the back of my truck allowing me to load deer by my self. Up side is it is strong for early doe i put 3 deer in it and rolled it right of the field.

last year i took a big doe on big hill, the cart cut right through the brush and slid right over dead fall down to the road with verry little efort.

After seeing all different types of homemade ones i just bought one from the big C store alum. fold up style light and holds two deer if needed with some rope

After hauling out a deer this weekend in my cart one of my buddies made the comment about how nice it would be if his fold up was able to have covers over the wheels like mine because the deer keeps getting in there and the big tires makes it easy to push/pull but wee all agreed if didnt take up so much room it would be perfect!

I bought a new cart and bought one of those suits that you put over the deer to keep it all inside the cart when transporting.

The only problem I had with mine was that I listened to my buddy the week before we went to Camp Ripley and he said we don't need one there, so I left in my fish house.

Boy was he wrong! That 150lb. buck I arrowed had to go in 100 yards the opposite direction from where our truck was parked.

The thought of that cart while we dragged the buck for 45 minutes just ate at my judgement!

Oh well!

I'm sure a well rolling cart is great, but I've been using a big orange plastic sled--the family tobbagon. It works better than I would have thought. This sled came with holes along its gunwales and I looped a rope through that. When I load up a deer I weave a strap through these loops and secure the deer. Able to go over logs, rocks, and yon. Dragged out lots of deer with it and would not hesitate to use it anywhere.

Does the tobbagon make the actual pull easier or are you just concerned with dirt etc...getting in/on the deer?

[pascooter94]

one way or the other need to find something, draging my buck out this year was a pain. sure glad my son was there to help the old man to get it up out of the bottom this year.

The sled makes the pulling much easier. It also keeps the deer clean.
