Also good for dragging your shooting gear to the bench when the snow is deep..

pelican ice fishing sled..... works wonders and if you add tie downs it makes it even better

Use one all the time, and after hunting season I use it for my ice fishing gear over the winter.

I used the "Cabela's Utility Ice Sled" this year and it worked fantastic.

I don't leave home without mine. I also picked up a set of wheels and frame. It was a Kijiji find bike cart for kids and only $25. I ratchet strap the sled to the frame and it is perfect for roads and field use. When I get to the bush edge or when there is snow, I use the sled alone.

Been using a "calf sled" for 35 years.

Cabela's Jet Sled is on sale right now. I have the smallest one and it's great. I strap it to my backpack like a turtle shell walking in. I use it as a shooting rest in the sitting position. In the winter the kids use it to go sledding too. And if course it's great for dragging deer out of the bush. I tie mine to a drag harness for easier dragging.

Every truck in our hunting camp has a calf sled in the back of it.

Get a chest harness because pulling a sled a good distance over bare ground with hundreds of pounds in it is not fun.

Been using one for years, great on grass and snow, even for an old fart like me. I should say though that it works better if you run o-bolts down the side to secure your animal. The harness is a definite advantage over a rope, wear a tree stand harness and tie it into the back harness loop. Canadian Tire sells perfect ones, I added some electrical conduit down the sides, drilled my o-bolts in and it gives me extra stability.

Edit : By perfect ones I meant the sled, not the harness

Pelican sled for me as well, has hauled everything around my camp from bears, firewood to beer. Snow or not its much easier to tow stuff

I drag my sled with the tree stand harness as well

I too have been using a six foot long one for years. As well as making it easier getting your critter back to the truck it also makes it easier to load if you are by yourself.

To load I tie the antlers to the pull rope and lift that end up onto the tailgate. Grab the opposite end and lift and push and the animal is now loaded with a lot less effort that wrestling with a floppy freshly killed deer.

As an added bonus all the blood drippings are now in the sled which is easily rinsed once home rather than having a trail down the inside of the box and down onto the bumper.

The wife bought a couple of tub-sled thing'ys from Wallyword a few years ago ( $15 bucks each) for the grand lids to sled with...thay used them once and I've use one or the other every years since she bought them to drag a deer. As Boo says, they make clean-up in the truck & shop a breeze. I hang the deer in the shop with the already bloody sled underneath to catch any drippings while processing the animal. Hide,guts& all the blood stay in the tub until taken outside and dumped, sled cleans up with a 2 minute hosing down and done cleanup
