Deer sleds?

Went out with two friends first rifle, one shot his first Elk which was awesome but he also hurt his leg hiking and could not help with recovery of a decent sized Cow. My other hunting partner and I ended up hauling out a boned out cow elk in two trips. 165lbs meat, the head for CWD testing, and my injured partners gear. One load on our backs and the rest with a game cart. By the end of the game cart trip I wish we would have just packed the rest out on frame packs in a few smaller trips. 3.6 miles from the Jeep combined with dead fall and a mixture of mud and snow made the game cart decision suspect.

If someone happens to try the electric packwheel Hummer mentioned please post some feedback. Seriously pondering it for next year.

Gosh, I need to bring you along on my elk hunts.

Watching the videos on the electric packwheel, I thought tip overs would be a bitch. And I don't think it comes with kickstands. I doubt it would be so easy as they show in most terrains.

Fair points on having to stand it up, the 200lbs rating seems ambitious. I ran into someone on the same hunt with the non-motorized pack wheel. They had only used it for one mule deer pack out but said it managed well as long as you spent a good bit of time balancing the load.
