Does anyone have any blueprints for one of these? it is the thing that you put the deer on and pull them out of the woods. two wheel design.

I have been using a 2 wheel cart to haul deer out for several years and wouldnt want to be without one.
You can buy a fold up ,well made one for around $100 or less.
The fold up feature is money well spent in eliminating the space it takes up in your truck.
Unless you have access to a lot of free scrap metal ,preferably aluminum type and 20 in bike wheels and you are a competent fabricator ,its a lot cheaper to just buy one.
I dont think you can buy the stuff to build one for what the ready made one costs.
Sportsmans Guide, Cabelos, Bass Pro all have them. Any local sporting goods dealer can order you one from a wholesale distributor

I used the wheels off a stingray type bike, 20", and welded it up out of 3/4" square steel tubing. It works great for up to 200lbs over even fairly soft soil. It is a fold up rig that I designed to go into the rear compartment of my Bronco with the rest of the gear and remain unseen. Sorry I worked from a pencil sketch I made and I didn't keeep it as I figured that most folks would have different wants then I had in making one. I also use a USGI body bag to put the game in, espeically if I haven't skinned it yet. The bag controls ticks really well. 0 -
A guy that hunts the same area I do always has a wheel barrow tied to the top of his pick up cover to roll deer out. 0 -
I've used the old wheel barrel a few times myself, but a few years back I bought one of the green fold up game carts and it works pretty good, BUT, that thing tips over so easy. The wheels are close together so you can maneuver it between trees and it has hard plastic tires so you don't get a flat, but it will work your upper body just keeping it upright when hauling out a deer unless you have a really smooth forest floor. It still beats dragging a deer and it doesn't mess up the hide if you want to do something with it. I have considered modifying it and welding in a wider axle. I have seen some models where the wheels are tilted in and I guess that helps it from tipping over. They can generally be had from $69 on up. I saw one in a magazine that was a lock on stand/deer hauler combo. It was around $119 I think. I just don't generally use lock on's unless I leave it there all season. I prefer my climber. Good luck and hope this helps.

Here's a link to pics and drawings one of the two that we built.

We have had good luck using the plastic kids taboggens (sic). They only cost $10-20 and pull very easily even over bare ground. We usually carry one when we go black bear hunting. Bears don't drag easy and usually are too heavy to carry. I have seen a 500 lb bear hauled almost a mile on bare ground using one of these sleds. Of course, the sled was pretty much chewed up from going over rocks, but the guys we gave it to were extremely happy.

I prefer using my Polaris 500. Saves a lot of work.

atv's are unlawful on state and national forest lands as well as the private property we hunt.
