DIY Deer Cart

[Tapeworm]

Unless the ground is sugar sand. Some designs will work better on certain ground/soil than others

Also this will slice its way behind u thru FL palmetto chops, slide over dead falls/palmetto roots, thru swamp grass, & sugar sand as u said

Works good in rough terrain but u will be holding more weight percentage than some other styles

It’s not ideal but pretty versatile

I’m going to try a jogging stroller that I got on Craigslist. It has bigger tires and can support plenty of weight.

I think maybe buying a more cost-effective and more practical

Folks who have tried the bicycle cart option... any issues with weight load? The model I’m looking at says 110lbs, which is a tiny deer in my neck of the woods.

Is this the sort of thing that probably can handle 300 lbs, but they are being super conservative?

Another good design ....View attachment 29163

Doesn't look to hard to make either....find junk mountain bike and cut here and there and a little fabtastik

Whoever comes to market with a deer cart with two hub drive ebike wheels is going to make a KILLLLLINGGGGG

If you don't have a bike - In my past lock-on days I would tie my drag rope to the butt area of my harness and pull in four-wheel drive, which was nice because I could grab small trees to help pull myself up hills (mostly hills where I hunt).

If I got a cart I'd probably attach it to my diaper for the same effect. Wouldn't be as easy as a full body harness, those shoulder straps really helped bare weight. But If I was making a special trip back to the truck for the cart I'd put it on. You'd definitely need two wheel cart for that though

Spin the saddle around and wear it backwards. Attach drag rope or strap to the bridge with a carabiner and pull "in 4wd".

@Weldabeast and @MaxJac posted one of those battery operated golf caddys in a different thread and got me thinking. Probably need a motor from an electric mobility scooter (after we steal the footrests for a platform) and the GPS unit off the golf caddy to slap something together.

Is this the new trick to get around?

Last night, I was at one of our many golf courses we have in town. Watching the 18th hole, fairway and green, something caught my eye. Two golfers came up the fairway on rather unusual vehicles for a golf course. Electric scooters with fat tires, designed to have the golf bag between the legs...

I built a electric cart a few years ago from a old wheelchair. I kept having electrical problems and blowing out the control in it so I abandoned it but it worked on 3 deer pretty good. I have been paying attention to all the electric motor stuff that's been coming out as of late to have another go round with it.

I had an idea rattling around in my pea brain to use a heavy duty cordless drill. If it'll run an 8" ice auger, I'd think it might at least help up the hills on a deer cart. Make a mount on the cart to hold the drill, have a sprocket chucked into the drill, sprocket on the axle or wheel of the cart with a belt or chain drive. I think it would have to be one heck of a reduction though. I really don't want to sacrifice my drill trying either. I ran into this video too:
