Deer tray

[Farmer iow]

Just after a few opinions and advice really, I am going to make myself an aluminium tray sledge. I have seen a few pictures of them that you can get from bushwear.. now what I would like to know is people that have used them or have them what they would change or alter to them to make them better. Many thanks in advance.

All mine needs is someone else to drag it.

That’s a very common upgrade requirement, keep us posted on progress

Use an old Land Rover Defenders roof.

I have a Trace plastic deer sled from bushwear, first class bit of kit, slides very easily with a deer in it also stick your rifle on it when dragging, rolls up in a tube before use .

Where from this side of the Atlantic? Do you know of anyone stocking them?

Schappell jet sled JS1 i have two of these abosolutely fantastic one is over ten years old and seen so much work it's a brilliant product.

I think mine measure 54"x25"x10" they will handle some big stags well my biggest was 130kg clean so decent enough, mind you when loaded with stags such as mentioned you really do need a quad or winch to make extraction easier, however for sika which is my main quarry they are perfect, and easily pulled by hand..

Make sure to get the Honda. Deer stays in carrier and goes right into vehicle trailer or up ramps in to pickup. Had the Lumag, can't recommend it.

Yeah the only thing on their site is a cover for the smallest one….. no trays sadly

Here is the one I made , strong in enough to winch up a ramp into the back of the 4x4

I made one from 20g galvanised sheet folded the sides and mig welded the curved front added a light weight box section frame around the top with a towing eye. Had two fallow bucks on at once behind the quad no problems picked up a fair few dents in the bottom where my quad driving hasn't been to carefully on stone ground.

They sell like hot cakes, but get a batch in every 4 months (thats how long it takes to ship from the US)

Probably worth a call as a shipment might be due anytime now.

Anyone fixed metal runners to a plastic top?

Are there any swages underneath it or is the bottom completely flat??

I fixed aluminium carpet threshold strips on my old plastic sledge, worked well until I reversed the quad over it in a moment of stupidity.
