The jet sled is awesome. You use it to drag the deer out of the woods and lift the front onto the truck bed then lift the back and slide it in. You have to tie or bungee the deer to the sled.
Is it the truck height or the deer weight or some of both that causes the issues?
For me it’s the height for the heavier bucks. I get on the tailgate and reach down and grab antlers. If I can get ahold of them I have no troubles but sometimes it’s too far and I need to tie something to the antlers just to pull them up a little to get ahold of them

Move to south Alabama, lol.
My jet sled has held up great on everything except the asphalt. Asphalt with a jets led is a big no go.Apparently there's more than one way to skin this cat I see, awesome!
I use a two wheeled game carrier and never thought to carry a couple of planks to use as ramps for times like this, what a simpleton I am.
That L E Vator system looks sweet and not too hard on the wallet either. If I don't DIY one before they're back in stock I may just go for it. The free standing model would work great for dumping deer in the hatch of my subie when I go incognito.
The Jet Sled could work but I'm curious as how long would it hold up being dragged across rocks, trails and asphalt for a mile or so when loaded? That's my only concern with it, otherwise it also seems like a solid choice.
I have a receiver hitch carrier but I prefer keeping my business out of the public's eyes but it honestly would be the easiest way to go.
The latest idea I came up with is to buy a small atv winch and mount that in the bed to use with a ramp. I could picture myself sitting on the gate pressing a button and watch the deer slide right past me and into the bed but if I did do that I'd wind up never shooting anything of size again.
I'm gonna try each way suggested to see what works best for me.
Really do appreciate the input guys.
Jet sled and an ATV ramp.

First caption that came to mind was..."Punch it Earl"Use a Ropeman to capture the progress as you grab those antlers and pull him into the bed.
Good idea. Worst part is when you almost get them in and then they slide back down. Way to repurpose items already used with saddle gear. Hooks in the side of the bed would work great for this.Use a Ropeman to capture the progress as you grab those antlers and pull him into the bed.
See how easy a flashy title appealing to your little man got you here......
So what do guys suggest?
