If you are using it for only light bulky things like full body geese, it isn't bad at all, but it does have some friction when you load it up.

Post by: ghosthunter on September 15, 2017, 05:06:40 PM: I own one or more of everything mentioned above.

I have used the deer sleigh on a dozen deer and works great.

I have three jet sleds in different sizes for waterfowl and other hunting applications.

If you get one abondon the rope that comes with it.

Run 1/4 inch soft rope down both sides after threading through nose holes,tie in back and tape knots with electrical tape. Leave the loop out front 6-7 feet.
Slip over one arm and head and take off hands free.

If the rope holes are in the slope front, I would seal them and drill new holes on the front rim.

Drill holes around the rail lip, so you can steach rubber bungees across you load.

I keep one in my truck. Works great to put bear or deer size game in with ice.
