Deer sleds? Any opinions?

I used one back in the late 80s to take a big buck out of a sandy river bottom. Worked pretty good except the sand wore holes through fairly fast and then the sled started to fill with sand. I'm sure this is an exception and it would be great on grass or leaves. We can quarter our deer here, so it's the better way to go instead of dragging.

I have a big black sled we call a calfing sled, you can buy them at farm and ranch stores. they work great very heavy duty and have 10-12 inch side walls

I use the same sled for ice fishing.

Yet another vote for the cheap blue plastic kids' sled. We wrapped a nice four-point mulie taken on top of an eastern Oregon ridge into one a few seasons back and slid that buck down some very steep  hillsides covered large lava rock. Worked great.

I use a kid sled as well. I did add eye hooks and rope to tie the deer in. So far I have used it to bring in two deer, repair 3D targets, Move 3D targets, and also help me move in Feb of this year from my old house to a new place. Now I worked the old sled so hard I finally cracked it and now have replaced it with a new model from Walmart that is about 6 ft long and red...I just hope I get the chance to use it this year. It works just as well in bogs as opn snow or ice.

We had to haul a guy out of the woods two years ago and i sure was glad we had a sled, as was he!

I guess that would be an added benefit.

I use one and it works great, I added a few tie downs and a pull handle for and aft. I'll try and get a photo bucket account then post a picture.
