I have used them as well, even tied 2 people to one deer and it works. I just thought it would be funny to let him try by himself. Like I said, I knew the landowner would let me run in with a Quad or my truck. I also had a deer cart in my truck that works extremely well.

Even with the game carts when you shoot one in the bottom of a deep coulee it's a wicked chore.. If I go back south for a Muley hunt I will be going with a pack.

Those big old mules sure can be a pain. But with a game cart they sure turn in to a lot lighter critter. Those drag holsters look great. Were did you get them?

The one I have, my wife got me for Christmas 10 years ago so it has to be from WSS. LOL

By the time you get back to the truck I really dont find much use for a tarp with holes in it and covered in blood unless its still good enough to haul something else. Its light and i always carry one in my pack .
