Deer cart

Andy I've extracted with all methods over the years, until 12 months ago my favoured method if a quad couldn't get to a red deer was my cart, and it worked well in most situations, but then I bought my £1k winch (after a nightmare extraction), all I can say is in the photo you look young, I am in my 60's, wait until you get there, you can buy my winch off me, hunt smart as you get older;)

I’m not that young, the one photo in the snow is the ‘stock photo posed by a model’ I’m 50 so I’ll save up for the winch!
 
My winch being used for what it was originally designed for, tree's!
There was a huge blockage on a channel on our local river impeding the Salmon and Sea Trout running.
A few hours later and it was cleared, tons of downed timber removed.
(I'm the voice!)
Cheers

@1894 How are you getting on?
I am VERY impressed. Fits in the estate boot folded up. Have managed a 65kg fallow buck over 1km and 100m ascent. Probably my limit. 2x sub 30 kg does or single prickets are very manageable.
Had thought I would use for Reds but a big stag and mud/slope would be too hard by myself.
 
In the wetter months when I cannot get a pickup in reds I quad bike out, fallow I backpack out. Depends on the terrain if it’s flat I’d imagine a cart does well on fallow but just adds too much extra weight on hills.
 
Large sac truck with big fat wheels is what I use to move big boar out of a location where even quads get stuck for the winter. Lie it down flat and heavy beast can be pushed up the handle in a tray. Then I use two small ratchet straps to secure everything. Even with a heavy boar loaded it can be lifted and pulled one handed on flat ground.

On rough ground it’s a two handed job but 100% better than dragging.

I have even used it on ground where you would be using your hands to climb. By having a 15m hand winch that you would use to pull a boat onto a trailer you can literally wind the thing from tree to tree if needed.

Last bonus is that once at the truck you can use it as a ramp to push the tray up into the back of the vehicle.

Winch removed in the photo as I used it to move logs recently.
