Almost self-loading trailer for hauling big game behind your atv

[Tim K]

I'm not much of a hunter, and I think this is a fantastic idea. I was over at a buddy's shop (Big D Motorsports in Woodland Park) and he gave me the video tour of this thing.

Here's a link. Stick it out to the end to see them rolling an elk onto the trailer almost effortlessly. If I were into this sort of thing, I'd have one in a second.

My bud's name is Dan (the "D" in "Big D Motorsports"). Give him a call, mention my name, and he'll only charge you 10% more than if you didn't know me. Seriously, they're good people up there.

Wow! Now I like that - if only I could bring my ATV off-trail still to retrieve my game. I could still use one of these though.

Tim is right about Dan @ Big D MotorSports. Tim turned me on to him a few weeks ago and they got my ATV fixed quick and cheap. Everyone there (small shop, just Dan, his wife, their mechanic Craig and another gentleman whose name I never got) are really friendly and treat you well.

The only problem I have with Big D is that they didn't tell me about this cart!

ETA: I just callled Dan to chew him out for not telling me about these (Okay, I did do it jokingly). Dan said he is expecting to get a couple of them in by the end of the week and if the demand is good enough he expects to be putting another order in for more of them next week. Dan also told me that in October the company that makes these will have them in powder-coated black. They are currently going for $599, but this is an introductory price from the manufacturer - it's usually $699 so if you want one, don't wait too long.

I also tried to call the phone numbers at the bottom of the web page with the video - the first number went to someones personal voicemail and the second number was a woman that said that she's been getting a ton of calls - the number on the page is wrong!

theGinsue, if you go see this thing, report back what you think.
