There is def a knack to loading the bigger animals onto a Land Rover/Cruiser.
P.H ad I loaded a Buff and an Eland on seperate occasions on our own, and it wasn`t that much of an ordeal.
First we "stood" the animal up onto its head/shoulders, backed the truck up against it, with the buff we had a winch over the cab, which made life easier,but with the Eland we just had a rope attached to the bumper and a "dolly" knot in it.(Thats the truck driver coming out in me)
As the tension is taken on the rope, we had a fencing stake under the beast and we lifted gently to ease it up over the tailboard,both times didn`t take us long at all.
The worse scenario is when your on your own, the animals covered in blood (I`m a messy grallocher) it`s p`ing down with rain and your struggling to get a 200/300lbs pig in the back of a Range Rover, I used the same principle, stand up on end, tie a rope to back seats lift and pull at the same time.
If all else fails you can go back to the old Forest of Dean principle....Brute force and ignorance and just chuck it in !!
