[QUOTE="CGO, post: 1661113, member: 55435"] I have followed comment on LRH for a few years and have been a sponge trying to learn more about reloading and shooting but have commented on anything. This is a first for me. I have a brother-in-law that has built elk and deer sleds for about 25 years. He uses UHMW or something similar that is about 1/8" thick. They have holes around the perimeter with grommets installed allowing the animal to be tied on the sled with para cord. In the front there are 3 holes with grommets installed where the pull rope is attached. They work well on almost any trail or road, dry, wet or snowy but they can be difficult on steep side hill areas. They work extremely well on snow but gravity can be the devil going up hill and then get out of the way down hill. I have found it is easier for me to quarter or half the animal and cary it out on a pack frame in rough country. I knew a couple of older gentlemen who shot 2 deer several years ago up in northern Idaho and drug both out on closed roads, they were about a 2 mile drag on dry forest service road and they reported it worked very well but it did wear a hole in the sled where the hip was positioned. They got a second for additional hunts. He also built a few for search and rescue for Montana with the grommets installed with the spacing for body bags. [/QUOTE]
