Anyone have a deer cart they would be willing to part with (sell) or at least loan out for couple days?

After scouting Brown Co park, I think a cart will be necessary for the early reduction. DNR will not be driving hunters in or helping haul deer out this year.

Use mine if you are close enough to get it. Meet you part way if you need it.

Tony,
you are welcome to use mine. Its a cabelas super hauler I think. email me if you need it

Thanks guys.

Still looking at options. I will let you know if I still need to borrow. I thought I was buying one off Craigslist this evening, but the guy backs out of selling it 20 min before we were supposed to meet!

A plastic sled like kids use in the winter works better than a cart in the woods. Carts tend to fall over when you are dealing with logs. I've used a deer sled for many years to pull deer out of very steep and rough terrain. Rural King used to sell the sleds for around $13.00. h.h.

This ^^^^^^

menards has the plastic sleds. i have both a sled and a cart and as stated, a sled is most typically preferred.

Helped a buddy tote one out on the cart Sunday evening about a half mile. Can't imagine dragging one in a sled would be half that easy without snow?

Rural king has the carts pretty cheap.

I've been thinking about trying the sled myself...I'll bet that works awesome. I've got a cart, and it's much easier than the old way. But when ground is uneven in a side-to-side fashion...the cart tips over instantly. You really have to choose your path wisely in hill country.

How do you wrap the deer and pull the sled? The ones I have seen looks like the ropes would pull off or out of the holes.

The sled laces up like you would a shoe with deer inside. There is a big rope hole at the top to tie to the neck or antlers. I cut a small pole and tie the pull rope to it so 1-3 guys can pull at the same time. Ive had mine many years and we've pulled out a lot of deer in the hills and ravens of Patoka. h.h.

Gotta type slow fer Bean....

I had a cart and sold it years ago because it tipped over easily, center of gravity too high. Especially on any little side hill.....agravating. I hunt pretty fair elevation changes in southern HNF. Part of the drag you need a sled, part of it a cart, maybe, if you get to a horse trail or logging road. Better yet, take a couple buddies that are bigger and younger!

my cart has a low center of gravity. No tipping on semi level ground...

If you're going over mud or pretty uneven ground or numerous sized sticks, a sled tends to work a heck of a lot better but on hard level ground the wheels a pretty nice, in my opinion.

I have thought about a sled as well (or instead of a cart). For the reduction hunt it will be primarily trail, horse trail, & fire road so the cart should be ok.

Looks like Menards has a cheap one as well.

Ive used a cart and sled. Sled is by far the easiest to use in a woods. If you are using some kind of roadway then the cart is a good choice as long as the road way is clear. h.h.
