GAME CARTS
saylean:
My brother has one, I used it last year to help get my bear out...
and I would so recommend it. Once we got to the road with the bear, it was so much easier to take out with that...it is collapsable.
Now that I think about it...we used another one last year too on an elk, again, waiting till we got to the road..didnt use it in a field...I will have to see what brand they are. I dont think my bros cost more than 125 bones or so.

Last year when my son was drawn for a youth cow tag I went and bought 2 spools of 1/2" rope 1200 feet had a game cart with us and a little chain saw 14" out of the 3 the chain saw is a must there is a lot of dead fall and pecker pole where we were and the saw saved us. Cut a path to the road we got her about 300 yards from a road so we put a pulley on a tree next to road and pulled her out whole with the rope. Would not have worked though with all the brush in the way though and you could mount the saw to the cart for hauling also. With all that it still took 41/2 hours from shot to meat in truck have fun.

mkcj, have you ever used mule tape? That is what we use if needed. It is what utilitiy workers (Linemen) use to fish wire through conduit. It is amazingly strong and is just under 1/8 inch thick and about 1/2 inch wide. I think its working load is 3000lbs but I may be wrong. It is a lot less bulky than rope. I am in the trades so thats how I aquired mine. Maybe someone on here knows where to get it. I have a disabled cousin that has a spool of it that is 1 mile long and uses it along with snatch blocks to haul deer and elk out of the bush.
mkcj:
BC never have but my brothers best friend is in the elec. business I will give him a call. I never hunt without my 4000 feet of 1/4" and now 1200' of 1/2" and block Thanks for the tip

I've got a spool of mule tape, that is great stuff but if you get a knot just cut it out cause you can't just un-tie it.
