It was raining and I couldn't get him up and into the 4 wheeler rack

Although I agree the laws of physics dictate many things, loading even a 300lb deer on the back of a 4 wheeler with an average 200 lb rider should not make the bike filp over backward. Throttle control and terrain choice likely have much more to do with it.

If that were the case it should have flipped while it was standing still.
FWIW: I have had one flip backward on me but it was due to loading it in the truck at a steep angle. I have had 3 200 lb plus men on my Honda Foreman 450 which is lifted causing a higher center gravity and yet not one little bit of front end elevation.
Regardless, you make a good point. When there is increased weight behind the rear axle, the driver must be more cautious with their speed especially when climbing hills, or traversing rough terrain.

I had a blast this summer drifting around turns on our dirt roads with the 25 gal spray rig on the back of mine.
stupid in retrospect.

I have a hard top on my ranger.When I kill a deer I back up yo it,the bed,let thee winch line out and run it over the top and hook it around the deer shoulderand winch it up and tilt the bed back to its normal position when the deer is in the bed.real easy.
