Drag Rope / harness for Fallow Deer Extraction

[robford1]

I am on the hunt for a drag rope / harness for deer extraction

I recently used my mates Seeland Drag rope but being 5ft 5 I dint like the design and would like a more even distribution of pull - which is why a harness might work better.

Any recomendations?

anyone used this or simular?

Best one ive got is a single point leather with chest and gut belts holds tight and it gives the pull direct

A cheap mares tail and harness from his are good, cheaper and change the hook for a loop good to go

These are better Phil but not according to some

Not a rope but I have a jet sled and it’s awesome.

If it’s this Seeland drag harness - I would suggest using two cross chest - makes hell of a difference.



Otherwise, simple light homemade hand drag will get things moved.

I bought a top quality drag harness from eBay. It was stolen by some thieving barstewards who broke into my Landy. I then decided to master the wife’s sewing machine and replicated it. It looks something like this -

If you can get the pull down to your waist you will not strain nearly so much, as you use leg muscles not abdominals and back muscles

Can’t recommend this product enough lads, horrible weather last year and couldn’t get vehicles in so had some very long drags on fallow. Harness system with a drag rope, pull the animal out with your big muscle's and keeps arms free to for rifle, sticks etc.

seen this advertised on Facebook with positive reviews

is it a harness and 3 straps coming off the harness, which is then attached to the deer?

 

[Utectok]

I don’t really get these strap yourself in harnesses. If you’ve got my ground your forever getting into ditches climbing walls going through gates and need to un harness and harness all the time? I have a simple rope with a padded wider strap that goes over your chest. Works absolutely fine and fits in a pocket. Big reds go on a sledge anyway with a wide strap.

I have this one from B/W - works well but a fag to lug about while stalking, so I tend to find I get it from the car after walking back for it. Gives me a chance to plan a route out.

Trace Flexible Deer Sled

A heavy duty HDPE flexible sled which rolls up and can be easily carried into the field, weighing just 3.5lbs. The sled unrolls and is ready to use in seconds, the highly durable HDPE is easy to clean and is strong enough to take the abuse of dragging some serious animals over grasses and light...

There is a negative review for it from someone on the website who clearly didn't read the instructions and it sounds like he got himself wrapped up in it and took a trip to the bottom of a hill in it! I found it fine.

Back packing is fun unless it is a big fallow buck...had a real wheeze trying it on with a buck I thought I could carry...but just lucky no-one saw or filmed me while working out he was too heavy. I could have looked like I was trying something only Mr Packham would consider!
