You can take an ATV onto state ground in Louisiana? That's awesome.

For truck, I read this tip on a facebook group, have yet to give it the field trial:
Get a piece of plywood that fits in your bed. Lean the plywood on the tailgate so it acts as a ramp. pull the deer as far onto the plywood as possible. Do a deadlift type motion picking up the end of the plywood and slide into truck.
Also, this guy has a pretty good method using plywood and a pulley.

Single loading ramp. Slit PVC and put it over the rungs for rollers. Tie rope to deer, and pull it up into the bed. Easy

I've used two ropes. Long one tied to the 4 wheeler over a branch to the deer. Second, shorter, to tie of when I get it to the height I want, untie the 4 wheeler and back it under the animal, untie and drop. Use the short rope again to tie it down.
Everyone's situation is different. Hope you find a solution to yours.

I have a deer cart that I use even if I can drive to the deer. The handle is right over the lip of the tailgate. Quick deadlift motion and it slides right in. Could build a similar frame in 20 minutes with scrap and a welder or even out of 2x4s. I've loaded several 190+ deer in the last several years that way. Big deer=innovative solutions.

Knife and a come-along. You’ll need a tree of course. I had to hoist a buck I killed 6 years ago with one and it happened to be in the truck bed at the time by pure luck.

Rope and a pulley tree branch hoist that slab up pull 4 wheeler under it lower repeat for truck

I've not really thought about his problem until yesterday. The friend I hunt w/ has a side by side w/ a dump truck type bed w/ a block and tackle hooked to the back of the cab. I usually borrow the side by side to hoist the deer into the back or my buddy helps me. Unfortunately, his side by side is in the repair shop. Yesterday I killed a doe and he was sill on stand. She was small so I was able to get her into the cargo box of my truck by myself. Wouldn't a portable gambrel and hoist like this work? One could attach the top of the first pulley to the tie down in the inside of the cargo box, let the tail gait down, attach the gambrel to the back legs of the deer and hoist the deer into the cargo box.
Now that I've thought about it some, I've got another idea I'll try. I've got a 1" thick rubber mat serving as a bed liner in my cargo box. Next deer I kill, i'll let down the loading gate, pull the mat out far enough that I can put the deer on it, roll the deer up in the mat and shove mat and deer into the cargo box.

Sheet of plywood, prop it up on tailgate, slide deer up on it, pickup the plywood and slide it into bed of truck with deer on it.

Work out more.
I kid. That's why I tow a utility trailer when I hunt when I can. I can get them in the back of a truck through brute force (and do much of the time), but a ramp on a trailer sure is easy.

why not just quarter it where it fell and pack out the meat like you would something bigger?

If there is a ditch or hill, back your truck into it where tailgate down is close to the ground.

I don't know if it's applicable here however I use a ranger and big pigs or deer myself and my 9 year old have had trouble.
I use a come along hook it to the roll bar and tilt the dump bed down, open the tailgate and wench it up. As you get further up the deer/pig will start to close the tilt bed but it will be in the bed enough where you can push him in the bed. This worked last year with me, a 7 and 9 yo and a 342# hog. No way were were getting it in by ourselves and there was no one else at the lease that night.

I just came to say there’s some damn good ideas here. Backing the truck bed to a ditch is my favorite and something I’ve honestly never considered but genius.

My uncle has a winch that he straps to a tree to get the deer up, then backs his 4 wheeler under it. Same for getting in a truck. Not sure where he got it or if he made it, but it has a strap that goes around the tree and the pulley is about 12" away from the tree. It's not perfect, but it collapses into a backpack.

Easy to load a deer on wheeler. Run the wheeler up a tree to put the rack on the ground. Slide deer up to the rack, roll him into the rack, bungee cord him to the rack, back the wheeler off the tree, and then ride him out.
Thats some damn ingenuity right there.......damn it baw
