I'd like to know what wheeled (not self propelled!) game carriers folks have tried and how they like them. I'm talking about the fold-up types you use to transport game back to the vehicle.
Thanks!

My buddy's got one I'm not sure of the brand it's got pretty big tires on it , bicycle tires I think. If your not on a trail two people is better, trying to get over logs is tough by yourself. If you have a nice trail to go down there pretty nice though.

Never used a wheeled trolley to take game out...always been fairly close to a track where we can get a 4WD in.
Back in my Army days we had a guy make a trolley to carry the 84mm Carl Gustav and ammo...called it Dolly's Trolley...worked real well. Basically a cage made out of arcmesh with a draw bar and wheels added.
Only time I've ever had need for an animal carrier was when I took the cat to the vet to be spayed. Used something similar to the one below.
Cheers, Vince

They have several types - big wheeled, fold up and lightweight. In the mountains of Idaho we use mules. Now days they are using 4WD and the big wheel carts that fold up.
I guess it is your choice, I perfer the mule.

I kinda doubt I could talk my wife into a mule... She might go for Vince though!

Naw...A mule is good lookin' compared to Vince...
To tell the truth. A mule or horse have less impact on the environment then ATVs...Or at least the "operators" of ATVs...

Close your ears Dusty!! A mule will not miss step as much as a horse does and they will not go places that a horse will let you lead them. A mule will balk where a horse won't.
