Paul TunkisGood idea. I started using roll-up "sliders" to drag deer out a long time ago. Then came game carts, works even better on snow-less ground. When the snow is deep, this week is a prime example as we've gotten several inches each day for a few days now, a sled works the best. I bought the smallest of the "otter"? snowmobile sleds, about 4/0 long and 2/0 wide. I've slid out a whole elk on it, quartered and trimmed. We had a bigger one a few years back and got two whole cow elk into it, wow, was that a serious mistake! Great on the flat spots, not bad going a bit up hill, but on the steep down-hill section... Fortunately, it missed the truck but the sled was totaled on some rocks about 50 yds the other side and downhill from the truck. Wish I'd had video cam that day.
