Loading deer, 1 handed

If fortune smiles on me I will have to load deer/ a deer with one hand this year. I just loaded my 110lb daughter into the back of the truck with one hand with relative ease.

Using ATV ramps (plywood can be substituted) and a 66" tobagan (heavy duty type) and a come along. I had to stop once and reset the come along was the only issue, only have about 6' of cable on it.

Hooked a strap/rope to the back tie down points in the truck on the first pull, and then hooked the come along to a rope attached to the front tie down points for the second pull.

I don't know why the thought of loading your kid into the truck like a deer makes me laugh. $\:D$

Great laugh out of your comment...

Had to see if it can be done.

Neighbors probably wondered what I was doing pulling the kids around the front yard in the sled.

I always carry my ATV ramps. When and if I load a deer into the truck it's field dressed and make a bloody mess of you while trying to sling it into the bed of the truck. With the ramps I just walk it up into the bed of the truck. No mess. No fuss.

i just let the ramp down on my 4 wheeler trailer and drag it up beside the 4 wheeler. this was effortless. i used to winch it up a tree and back the truck under the deer.
