    Seems to me a childs plastic sled, a few well placed holes along each sides edge, and some good rope to lace the deer up like that pic from Cabelas shows, would do about the same thing. JMO
    You may get out of it cheaper that way...

    I used a sled one year and it did seem easier.

    DSGB,

    I used one for the first time back in Feb. We shot a 150 lb hog 1.75 miles (as the crow flies) back in the SC mountains. My friend had one of these with us. I was skeptical, but that thing will slide on leaves like a sled on fresh snow. It drags on dirt roads/trails, but for leaves, it's great.

    It just so happens that we used one last week for the first time. It worked great. We loaded a 157# buck on the smaller model and it fit just fine. When dragging downhill it was like dragging on snow (if you know what that is like). It made dragging very easy. We found only one problem. The area we hunt is very rocky. The area used to be mined for granite, zinc and limestone. We found that jagged sharp rocks tore the the sleigh'r. If you are hunting normal sticks and leaf ground it will be a Godsend. I give it 2 thumbs up. It's better than a sled because you can roll it up after you are done. BE SURE to read the directions first!!!!
