Deer Drag-A-Matic 600
Eric Krewson:
I have found I can't even drag a deer downhill without paying for it later (bad hips and back fusion gone wrong). I have my 4 wheeler for normal retrieval but what if one falls into the bottom of hollow that is not accessible with a 4 wheeler; Enter the Deer Drag-A-Matic 600, patent pending of course, he says tongue in cheek.
A 600 lb boat winch, 80 ft of 1/8" cable, a ratchet strap to secure the winch to a tree, a 20V lithium drill driver with a spare battery and manual hand crank as an optional source of power. Don't know if it will work but I suspect it might. Total cost less the drill driver, $24.
If the drill driver doesn't have enough power I have matching impact wrench (seen in the picture) that puts out 250 ft # of torque that surely will.
OK a nutty idea but there are some areas I like to hunt (walk in only) that the impossible deer retrieval has kept me away.
DC:
You know the deer is going to be 90' from the ATV don't you? ;D ;D ;D ;D
Zuma:
That's cool. 8) 8) have you given it a dry run yet?

Eric Krewson:
No test yet. I pull deer in an ice fishing sled that make the resistance a bit less.
Hawkdancer:
The umiak and 4 wheeler with a lot of rope should work! I thought I was being smart by have a "come along" and 600 ft of Paracord! Move that critter 7 ft at a time! Lot of cranking!
