pulling weight reduction

[Petrol & Powder]

I think his point is that like Marlene Detrich, "He wants to be alone." Went on many deer hunts just to be by myself

Greta Garbo, but yes.

i like to hunt alone too.
but dragging a mule deer i just shot on the other side of a canyon means setting up a tent and a cook stove and dragging the cooler over to the deer.

Little whitetails we have here, you could eat in three days.

Kevin,
I have an Otter sled pop-up you could borrow if you need it. My question is how are you going to drill holes with the weight restriction? If even an electric auger Binds in the ice it could give you a pretty good jolt. I would hire some young guy, buy a shelter lic. and get it set up and leave it on the ice.
ps: if you leave it on the ice you would surely have to go check on it every day :

they make engine hoists that you simply pull a chain one direction or the other.
the pull on those is about 0lbs to lift a 900lb. engine.
you can just zoom the chain through the thing and watch it go round and round 3-4 times to lower stuff.

don't know what they cost now, but even the G-boy can lift a deer with the one i have versus the doubled come along that's a lot easier than lifting the deer and tying the rope off.

They work great in a vertical lift. Not so much in the horizontal. The lift chain wraps up around anything available every time.

I think for 70 lbs a couple light ramps and a simple B+T would do it, and there's no running power to a winch or fears of theft or having to hump the winch into the back of the truck. Even better would be a real light little single axle trailer, no climbing into the truck bed at all. Even those folding trailers from Northern or Harbor F would work, but you have to license them in my state at least.

Yeah I would go with the pully idea or just be a bucket siter this year! It is kinda nice to go back to hole hopping, you know be mobile and not set in one spot all day.

But good luck hopefully ya get out plenty this year. Jeff
