Yes, for two fallow with a pal down in E Sussex, it was fine, then with a boar we broke it, his children weren't happy when the snow fell!
My advice would be buy a JetSled from @Stirlinggundogs on here or via Glade Deer Management mine is in it's fourth season and does 130 odd deer a year
I use them for muntjac as 3 get heavy on a long 300/400 pull,

jet sleds are great: make sure if you get one, that you get the extra runners for it. Also there are a couple of superb mods on Youtube for the pulling rope. Well worth doing this too. I love mine - hoiked out all sorts of deer out of some very inhospitable places...
Jury is still out on jetsled for me. Bought 2 recently and they aren’t as strong as the old plasterers bath I have and no where near as solid as the green drag tub I had from reeves deer mgt about 15+ years ago, which it’s still going strong but too small for reds. Wish I knew where to get those from again.
I buckled a corner of a jet sled first time I used it, just trying to push a stag into the pickup. Has popped back into shape but don’t feel they’ll last that long.

and 3) when you can get it to a place you can get a quad to - the JS1 trailer that the sled slides onto, it will go anywhere the quad will, mine on it's 4th season now

Has anyone tried fitting aluminium runners (maybe doorway threshold strips) to a plasterers bath? Something to help it slide with a bit less resistance?
I've found the bath attached to a rucksack with a good waist strap makes things a lot easier but a 50kg fallow or more does create a lot of resistance. My drag is between 1km and 1.5km so it's quite the leg burner.

They were...and they aren't (to my knowledge)

Here is a good idea on the heckpak for the tow ball system (turned into a wheelbarrow) go to minute 11:45. The boar was 150kg BTW.
