re: Does anyone have any tricks or gadgets to get a deer in the bed of the truck?

I guess the whole problem was that I couldn’t get it on the 4 trax

Nah man you good. I was just joshing. Killing just one public land deer is on my bucket list. Much less doing it consistently.


200lb deer is going to be tough to load by yourself no matter how you go about it.

If there is any decent trees nearby you could trow one rope over that then use a 4:1 block n tackle to hoist the deer up then back your truck up under it. Still doesn't help you with getting it on the wheeler though unless you carry the tackle gear into the woods and that might be more trouble than its worth.

I think this is the same block/tackle I have and really like the self-locking mechanism. Though you probably will need a longer rope than what it comes with and if it fits, use 1/2" nylon instead of 3/8. Makes it easier on hands when pulling.




for convenience, grab a sling to go around the deer for lifting:
