Meat Sled

[treillw]

Any suggestions on a good sturdy sled to pull an elk out of the woods on?

Thanks!

I tried to do that once without snow. I’ll never do that again.

I've used my homemade pulk to get meat out- should qualify- that's w/ snow

it's a Paris Expedition sled, rope around the edge and then through two smaller diameter pvc pipes- hooked to a pack belt (even better with shoulder straps) it pulls pretty decently- I mainly use it in the winter for camping, but it works well with meat too

I picked up an ice fishing sled at Wally World for about $40 that works pretty good. Saw the same or very similar at Sportsmans Warehouse under the Eagle Claw brand.

If you can find a military surplus Ahkio sled, they work incredibly well. Have used one for moose, elk, and bison. Can put a rope on each end which is helpful for control, they're durable, and they're skinny so they move through the snow well. I don't have any pictures but if you google "Ahkio sled" you'll see what I'm talking about.

My dad bought a roll up sled called the Deer Sleigh'r made by Magnum to use in the mountains for elk hunting. We haven't used it yet so I can't recommend for or against it but wanted to point it out to you. Good luck.

Jet Sled works for deer with snow for sure. In all the sports stores here in Midwest. They make 2 larger sizes too - but don't know if they are a regional maker.

I use a Pelican 60. It is 60" and has tie down locations and is deep enough to hold a few quarters or a whole deer.

My tree stand harness has a pulling tab to attach the sled to so I can pull using my whole body.

It has pulled out a few deer, a quartered elk and lots of ice fishing equipment.

The buck is actually a 7x7, basic 5x5 frame with 2 stickers around the bases, so gross is 159 and change.....net is around 147, but nets are for fish!!! First buck with a crossbow as well!

Very nice - hard to get feel for size from pic!

Funny, my indiana buck is 157, and I'm betting him.

Not netting him.
