Never have used that model, guys I hunt with have a homemade one. I think two wheels are better than one.

we have the two wheeled ones too, only really work on roads, tough to use them on the tight trails and rough terrain, check out the pictures on the web these seem like they would cover all bases.

We have one and it works great. Used it last year on the gated logging roads to pack out my dads cow. One of our old hunting partners had another style one wheel cart we used back in the 1990's. It worked well also. You can take them down trails. They collapse to help with storage space.

Every game cart that I’ve tried was flimsy and awkward.  A wheelbarrow works better and is useful all year long.

  I have both.  a 2 wheeler can be solo but a one wheel has to be 2 guys.  I prefer a one wheel cuz you can go over rocks and brush and run with them if you are a stud.      said someone said a 2 wheel is for roads.  a 2 wheel is a lot cheaper.  I put a good motorcycle tire on my one wheeler and with brakes it rocks.   mike w

I like how these guys run a strap around their shoulders to take the weight off their arms and such



this is the best looking setup I've seen,  the OP's game cart is too high off the ground and you'd use way too much energy keeping it balanced on that single wheel.   This cart is low slung, easier to keep balanced and the strap around the back and neck is awesome.  These carts are homemade according to the website I poached the pictures off of. 


The wheel barrel would work better if you could take the crossbeam off in front of the wheel and the legs that hang down.   I always hit that stupid cross beam in front and come to a lurching stop

It is not hard to balance with 2 people. This is a 2 person cart which is very versatile from my experience.

Yep.  I move the wheel forward and brace behind the wheel so the cross beam does not hit anything.

I have owned one of these for 20 years they are called mule. they are nice to use in rough or tight areas but all the weight is on you. the shoulder strap works but it really wears on you and only can handle two elk quarters at a time.

snakeyes- I appreciate the comment from you who owns one. Looking at the pictures on line, it seems to be superior to all others. I currently use a mule like in the pic above with the two guys, we also use a couple different two wheeled carts. They are all ok but I'm thinking the carryall would outclass the other types. I hear they balance heavy loads well with one guy too.

We put the whole elk on it last year. It was close to a logging road which helped but a good portion of the trip was up hill. Still a bugger but it worked well.
