Any reason why this wouldn't work?

Any reason why a mini bike like this couldn't be used to haul deer our of the woods?

I hunt private land so restrictions aren't an issue. I'm thinking if I rigged a yoke/receiver to the rear frame, I could connect a sled or deer cart to it which would make hauling a deer out of the woods much easier. I bet I could find one used on Craigslist and would be much cheaper and more compact compared to a 4-wheeler.

Before the "just drag it out" crowd chimes in, I have borderline fibrosis so it not a matter of laziness...though I'm not above being lazy if there's an advantage to it.
 
The centrifugal clutch would be your limiting issue I'd venture to guess.
 
I had an older one in High school. My first thought is not enough torque. What is the terrain like? A deer cart is hard enough in the woods to control by myself. The sled sounds like a better idea. But in my mind it seems like an accident waiting to happen. I would spend a little more for a 4 wheeler. If that's an option.
