May I ask where you got it?
To drag or to carry? That is the question!

This is what I have, we’ll a Nash version, folds up nicely in the back of the car incase I shoot anything I can’t carry, hasn’t been used yet thoughI have considered one of these. But in the woods it could be a pain.

I used to do a backpack using the legs, but nowadays I use a length of webbing. This allows the bulk of the body to sit closer and lower, and the webbing is more comfortable on your shoulders. I'm sure I've put these photos up here before, but it seems to be a perennial topic, so once again...
A little longer than I hoped but last night, I finally got to try out my crawler. Why oh why do I always shoot fallow at last lightSooooo - I bought one in the Bushwear Sale (probably their last as it now shows none in stock) and got 20% off so delivered, it was £256I've decided to make the wheel arms removeable so I have reversed the centre axles bolts and secure them when fitted with locking D-pins. I have also changed the fasteners to stainless steel throughout to make it a little less rust prone. Will report back idc but I needed an option that collapses to go in the car for a local shoot with fallow where I cannot use my quad. Last fallow came out in a wheelbarrow with a flat tyre which was painful - I'm hoping this will be much better
Anyway, 2 down in a wet and boggy field with a steep uphill portion from the gralloch site and over a field and through an overgrown garden, across a lawn and into a muddy farmyard to get them to my car. All I can say is it worked brilliantly - 55kg of fallow and my gralloch kit, flood light and sundries, relatively effortless transported. It coped well with a fallen tree, a concrete block at a gate and took the muddy field in it stride - all I forgot is to put some sacks to put the wheels assemblies in before putting them back into the car! I need to improve the strap arrangement but one around the handles and under the arm pits held the carcasses steady throughout.
Only the first use but it made lightweight of a sticky job and resulted in me not being as late home for dinner as I could have been

My old dad taught me very early in life that it was best to 'never shoot a stag in a bad place' (for extraction).
If you are under-equipped or undermanned/womanned for the extraction then strongly consider passing-up on the opportunity to shoot the deer.
Next time you visit (hopefully) the deer will be in a better place for extraction.
Shooting the deer is usually the easy part of the job and extraction/ loading the most difficult

Agreed - that’s why I have a quad, trailer, capable 4x4 and now a deer cart. The different grounds I have demand different solutions, sometimes demanded by the landowners
