Too late, they are out of business.I’ll buy one of those if it comes with one of her lol
Getting more used to hunting on my own and not really having anybody to call for help for this type of situation. After using the classic be a man and muscle up method yesterday I searched this thread out. Lot of good ideas in here that people have shared. The knowledge in this forum as a whole never ceases to amaze me! Appreciate you all!
Yeah, the "be a man" technique will get you into a lot of trouble throughout life in general. BUT, you also can't be a snowflake, lol.
That's a good idea.I took two 5 foot sections of and old ladder tree stand. Slid them together and screwed two pcs of 18”x5’ osb on top. That gives me a 10’ long ramp to slide my deer up to my pickup bed. Disassembles into two 5’ sections and easily fits in the pickup bed. I also tie a ratchet strap to my hitch and hook it to the bottom of the second ramp. It keeps the ramp from ever falling off the tailgate when loading a deer. Saves my back!
I do something very similar to that back board that he made. The way I do it is I lay the plywood behind the truck with the tailgate still up. I then drag the enormous, world class buck (okay, maybe that part is an exaggeration) onto the plywood. Then I wrap a bungee cord or rope (with bungee hooks on each end) around the antlers or neck and hook the hooks over the plywood. I then stand up the plywood and now the deer is hanging on the plywood and then I drop the tailgate. I let the plywood down onto the tailgate. All i gotta do next is lift the othe end of the plywood and slide it in like a drawer. It works pretty well. Like he said in the video, the longer the plywood the easier it is.After the Hunt: Loading a Big Animal Alone - AllOutdoor.com
I ran across the above illustration a while back, and figured it was worth sharing with our readers. It shows a method of loading a large animal such as a deer, hog, or bear into a truck bed without herniating yourself or having to go fetch help. You fix a pulley to a rope across …www.alloutdoor.com
Good idea.. Don't carry home what you can't eat, and have to haul it back to the woods later.Drop the tail gate and drop my pack on it. Throw the meat bags in the cooler. Donezy
