[QUOTE="VTbluegrass, post: 1652963, member: 104786"] I started hunting at the age of 18 in the mountains of VA and hunt mostly hardwood swamps with some ag land now in eastern NC, with the exception of a few hunts, all public land no vehicle allowed. Fourteen years I dragged or carried deer off mountains or out of swamps because you can't legally take whitetail deer apart in either state until the harvest is reported, not just notching the tag. I still remember getting back to the truck hours after dark because of long drags. Last year I borrowed a cart and my life was forever changed. I still have to drag them out of swamps or to the nearest logging path but getting to the cart almost has the same relief as getting to the truck because I know the hard part is over. I normally hunt with a climbing stand so on the way in I use the cart part of the way for the stand too. The cart I use is a homemade thing from an old tow behind bicycle stroller. Took a little welding but it works fine. Thinking of buying a folding game cart just for the sake of space in the bed of the truck. If you hunt where you routinely have to drag or carry deer out don't let the money of a cart stop you; it will pay for itself the first time you get to the truck and don't feel like collapsing.
