I've had my cabelas brand for about 10 years and use it a couple times a year to haul animals and/or gear. It works really well but as others have done, it really helps to extend one of the sides (I just did handles) so I could have better adjustability to balance the load on the wheels and not have to slightly lean over. The only other thing I have had to be careful with is loads settling under the lateral brace and rubbing against the wheels.

I got a game cart several years ago and yes its handy when you need it or the circumstances allow.

What have I most used mine for? Hauling decoys duck hunting public WA WMAs... been killer for that!

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Hawk Crawler.

I had two of the two wheeled versions from Cabelas, the regular one and the heavy duty.  The heavy duty broke when I tried hauling two antelope at the same time and I upgraded to the Hawk Crawler.

It's amazing, goes over stuff effortlessly and is probably half the effort or less compared with the two wheeled versions.

I’ve used one for 15+ years. Hunt a lot on industrial timberland on the coast with roads everywhere. Behind locked gates I’ve found it efficient to drag deer to the closest road and load onto the cart and back to the truck whole. Typically solo.

Elk is an entirely different situation. We typically quarter and haul out on bike trailers after getting them to the gravel.

Without roads, my cart would be pretty useless.

I've hauled out a few critters with one of these.  Bundled up a whole spike in Montana and hauled it out cross country for 3 miles. Single wheel and brakes. Better with 2 guys but doable alone.  Piled 3 dozen duck decoys on it once for a hike in duck hunt.  Kinda funky looking but it will haul a load!
