However I have considered buying one of those folding big wheel carts and keeping it stored in the truck during hunting season for super-long hauls out.

Yes, those should work just fine. I may buy one once my pink toboggan wears out.

They work great. Used them before I used an ATV and for remote areas I can not get the ATV to. Still have it and works.
I would do 2 thinks, trash the rope they give you and get better stuff that holds an knot and better quality with more length.
Also would add a handle like a ski rope type or deer drag ones like talked about earlier.
Makes it work so much better.

I was going to say 21 year old son. He’s bigger, stronger, and has a better back than me.

I was going to ask about the gutless method. I'm new so this seems like the way to go.
But what if I want to keep the hide?

If you noticed on my earlier pink toboggan photo, I just attach a drag harness to my sled. It allows me to drag hands-free and transfer the weight from my arms to my upper body.
This video sums it up. no reason you can't keep the head attached and keep the hide as well.

I used to hunt public land exclusively. I've dragged deer and pigs over a mile with a piece of rope tied to a sturdy stick. I've dragged them with a friend and alone.
When I remarried and taught my new bride to hunt, a game cart soon became essential; she was slaying deer and pigs with a vengeance. LOL.

That is the best way. I have a neck problem that I cant take the strap on my shoulder and neck area. That was the best way did it in the past but about 2 hrs later I could not turn my head..... So I need to use the next best with a handle.
I wish I could it was so much easier having the hands free.

I use an backpack with an internal frame. I skin them on the ground. I use to use a tarp on the ground, but over time have learned how to skin on without doing that. I use this method for hunts where I hike in considerable distances. Also, use this method dog hunting, clean it on the spot and done. For short drags I use a rope and bar/stick. https://www.sportsmansguide.com/pro...90xnZIafVNLUoW-NiGd1SHVhBlx_4fXRoCXtQQAvD_BwE https://www.rakuten.com/shop/beacha...hVzRL534jC5BYWAToIXR0PO-Q7j_DoBhoC8YoQAvD_BwE
I left out that I use a surplus water proof laundry bag to put the meat in so the back pack does not get blood in it. I use it as a liner in the backpack.

I like to carry camera equipment into stand especially if I'm doing an all day sit. I'd looked at this pack once for doing that but had forgotten about it till your post. Last week I bought it on Amazon for 65 bucks and it was sitting on my porch when i got home last night. Looks good not sure I'll use the meat carrying feature but it's good to have options.

I take a wagon with me since I hunt 600-1000 yards away from my truck. Once I report my harvest I’ll grab the cooler and wagon and start quartering in the woods. Usually takes me about an hour or two to be done with everything once I take my shot.
The sled looks like a better option so I may rig up a system this season.

A doe can have a handle as well. Cut the back leg like you are hanging it from a gambrel. Insert the other back foot through said incision and the leg bone makes a handle at 90 degrees to the deer.

1 rope tied with double figure 8 on a bight attached to back of Lone Wolf stand via carabiners. Other end tied to neck of deer at a length that keeps the head/antlers just off the ground. Brief internal pep talk before starting and lots of breaks. Helps to have the camelback hose easily accessible when walking. Hunt uphill from truck. Love hunting public land but man it sucks with a mile or more drag.

I made a deer drag out of 3/4" pvc and a section of 1100 para cord. I tied a double fishermans knot in the cord, run the cord in the pvc. Heated and shaped the ends to keep the knot in the handle. My rope seemed too long so I tied a figure eight in it to shorten the cord. Need to try it out now. Thanks for your advice and knowledge!

After years of hooking it to either my climbers safety harness or using a 1" tublar nylon slung over the shoulder and dragging it out. Last year brought back from North Dakota a green Toboggan to do the same.

I use the tried and true 18 year old step son. Its a little mouthy and has a bad attitude most of the time, but it gets the job done.

A rope with a loop on both sides. One to make a slip know around the deers head and the other to hold on to.
