Not sure of dimensions, etc...but this weekend we were using a two wheel game cart and we were commenting on how it would be great to have a third wheel up front to help balance on hills...like on a wheel barrel...but have the third wheel be adjustable, like those you find on camp trailers...just an idea.

Last year I bought the magnum cart from cabelas, its pretty nice and I don't think you could buy the parts and steel for the price.

I have the Cabelas "Super Mag Hauler" but rarely hunt in places where I can use it. I'm usually too far away from the road in too much snow, brush, logs, etc. I works great if your path is a closed road or bare ridge.

I will be welding one up this weekend, maybe I will post a pic when complete if not too ugly... My goal is a road cart. Low and wide. Maybe something I can drag behind my bike... I want all metal, no plastic...removable handle...brickschlitthouse rating...

we use a military cot with a mt bike wheel under it, its about 25 yrs old and works great, you just need 2 people to work it. having a single wheel works great in clear cuts.

wilderness areas?

Thanks for the input guys. I like the idea with the old army stretcher. I know where i can get one free and i'm thinkin' that i will have all of the wheels removeable, that way i can have it 1 wheel, like a wheel burrow, and add 2 wheels to the rear. Thanks again, Anthony

just to confirm Bobcats reply, you can checkout page 7 of the "Cascade Compass" http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/mbs/publications/MtBakerSnoqualmie_VisitorGuide2003.pdf.
Bullet point#2, under "Wilderness Regulations" states "Motorized and mechanized equipment is prohibited (including bicycles, carts, chainsaws, and hang gliders). Landing of any aircraft, or dropping or picking up of any material, supplies or person(s) is prohibited."

That was a new one on me...didn't know that before...good to know.

A key reason to understand and watch out for new wilderness designations. It's really pathetic when the Forest Service takes 2 months to clear a trail in the wilderness simply because they won't\can't do it with chainsaws and requires manual labor. Also - I love riding mountain bikes on dirt trails. Nope - can't do it either.  :DOH:

In reality - it would be very hard to take a game cart and use it in most wilderness areas though  :chuckle:

I bought one for 50 bucks a couple weeks ago. Looks like it will help me quite a bit. I am using for waterfowl is all. I am going to fabricate some wider sled tracks for use in the snow, but the wheels will work for now

I agree with actionshooter, I could'nt buy the parts for what I paid for mine, although I understand the enjoyment and satusfaction of doing it yourself. I'm still waiting to get lucky enough to be in a spot that I can use it. Seems I 've had to break down and packout my animals. I'm hoping to put mine to use this year.
