This is a 300lbs deer. Was a real struggle to get him situated on the atv. I had to winch myself out of a few creek bottoms on the way out to avoid flipping backwards.

Hills.. I take the seat off especially with my old 3 wheeler, put it on the front, move the load as far forward where the seat was as possible. Tying jello down on a ATV is not the easiest thing but after 40+ years it gets easier. I drive standing on one side, sometimes sitting on the meat, whatever works.

He was, I kept the heart and liver, was as big as a young elks. He is good eating too. Shot him on halloween at noon at a natural lick on a windy day. A decent rack but short tines. He was just a young deer I think, head had great teeth.

For big deer, I put the rack and head on the foot board and then get on the opposite side and grab the rack and pull them up onto the seat at an angle to the back rack. Then it just needs to be positioned to the rear and strapped down so it can’t dislodge itself. For moose and elk its 1/4 up and a few on the front and the rest on the back. Too much and you will brake the frame eventually. A good trailer is best. Thanks for the tips I will incorporate that in as needed. Always amazing what some ingenuity will accomplish.
