There were a couple of topics recently posted on "Getting deer out of the woods?" and "Deer Carts" and thought I'd post what me and some friends have used for your info.
--------------------------------------------
Me and a couple of hunt'n buddies use the Deer Sleigh'r Sled when we have to drag a deer or hog more than a few yards to the nearest access road or fire-break. It can be found on Cabela's at the following web site.

My friends use it when they go on the hog hunts at the island off Savannah in the annual hog hunts in late Feb or March each year. They say that even dragging a 250 lb hog is "easy" with it. I keep one in my car/truck at all times during hunting season.
It is made of a heavy "slick" plastic about 1/8" thick, with holes punched in the sides so you can lash the deer or hog inside of it. It has larger grommet holes in one end to tie a larger "deer drag" rope in. It pulls over pine needles or leaves like it was on "rollers", and even going over downed branches or trees offers very little resistance to its "slick" surface. It rolls up into a tube about 24 inches long and 3 inches in diameter for easy carrying. The smaller size is all you'll ever need for deer or hogs. The larger size is mainly for bear, elk, and moose sized animals.
HINT: When using it going DOWNHILL, put the deer or hog in front of you.... or you'll get "run over" by it.
NOTE: I saw a similar new item in an ad on the BuckMaster's web site, and finally found the link again.... it's called the DeadSled. It comes with a carrying case, 14 feet of "blaze orange" drag harness, the "sled" (that has 3 cinch straps w/buckles built into it to secure the deer/hog) and sells for $29.95 + S&H.

I just ordered the DeadSled and will give a comparison evaluation of the two of them when it arrives.... and hopefully, how well it works during muzzleloading season.
