I was given one as a Christmas present. To be honest, it's spent months in the car and been used once. This isn't because it's a poor piece of kit, it's because it's not always possible to get the vehicle close to the site of a grassed beast on our ground, and as my mileage and white hair racks up, I'm not keen to carry/drag the full weight of the beast close enough to the vehicle just so I can use the Napier..... What we use much more (sorry Napier...) is a short bit of rope with a couple of eyes spliced in it and a tiny ratchet load binder (a few quid from Aldi if memory serves) - the rope goes round the nearest tree or branch and the deer can be hoisted up for a vertical gralloch with just a gambrel. Works just fine.
