Just mount a winch, much simpler and takes up less room
As Andy said a winch or as I was no longer using it for lifting acetylene bottles in my welding trailer

That anvil was f##king !!!

Animal transit boxes do a lovely winch, ramp and tray setup for this purpose if your into nice kit. If not then i’m sure you could knock something similar up pretty easily that would achieve the sane purpose, like what mickeydredd has done above.

We use a piece of ladder. We dragged a 90kg red stag up to the truck on Monday then put
one end of the ladder on the tailgate. Stag goes on the ladder in a cut off blue barrel, my mate lifted the end of the ladder up with one hand and pushed the ladder into the truck.

Is the winch rail fixed to tub hooks?

Donnington deer management tow ball hoist. Swivels to swing it in and also has a handy skinning attachment too.

For those without a winch/hoist I have done a few paddock deer like the following scenario. Find a wombat burrow and drag deer with ute to the top side of the burrow, unhook deer then drive to mouth of hole, reverse and drop a back wheel into the burrow mouth. This will put the tailgate at a very very low height then simply roll the beast into the tray.
Yes I do realise that you don't have wombats....thus I`m assuming badger burrows are of a size and depth to do this,yes,no?

You'd get in real deep sh*t for doing anything like this to a badger sett.

Two problems with that John, most badger setts are within woods and inaccessible to vehicles, the second is that it is illegal to interfere with a badger sett or to go anywhere near one.
I use 2 bike ramps which I attached some castors to. Cheap and cheerful, still have to pull/push it up but it makes it much easier

This, its simple and effective Even with big lowland reds.
Shoot smaller deer.
Although I have just picked up some fallow ground so this is topical for me. But my plan involves a heck basket and pole from the boot lid to the boot lock to winch it up. I don’t have a pick up, mind you my suv has been in the garage for the last month so no idea when that is coming come. But that is another story.

You are not going to believe this John but there are even circumstances (extreme I admit) where even digging a hole is illegal.
They got laws against almost everything in this country, and we claim to be members of the free world.
