Yes, Papa thanks for sharing, and I'm an aging Baby Boomer who just dragged out a nearly 200-pound 8-pointer! It took me 4 hours, so I ordered one of these CRAWLERS and it's due to arrive today! We have another week of shotgun season open, so I'm going to put this together as soon as it arrives!
You sold me on the crawler cart Papa R. I’m a disciple of the jet sled and use it to drag dozens of deer a year, but in many instances I realize the cart would be the better approach. Thanks!
As an older hunter I think each have their own benefits. For example if handholding and pulling the wheeled cart is excellent. If using pulleys and rope or a pull out of a steep ravine I think the Jet Sled rules.
I've discovered the best of both worlds - Hawk Crawler Game cart and Sled. I use my Hawk Crawler Game cart for dry conditions and my sled (modified with added skies) for snow conditions. In addition to my Hawk Crawler, I had to drill an extra hole on the long handle and use bolts so the cart will not fold up on its own during use. The factory holes and bolts have trouble holding the weight under real life conditions. Hunt smarter not harder! P.S. The Hawk Crawler tires lose air so carrying a bicycle tire pump comes in handy.
Great video. To your ratchet strap comment, I use couple 4ft pieces of romex electric wire. Easy to wrap around the frame or something. They don’t jingle and don’t have but one piece to loose. You can wrap a deer up twist like a bread tie and it doesn’t go anywhere.
@@paparomesoutdoors711 I hunt swaps of SE and not many hills but plenty of blow downs and thick stuff. Most annoying thing is when your cart flips. With the gear or game tied up with several pieces romex, just flip er back over and roll out!
been using mine now 2years. I can pull out my deer alone now. best cart hands down. was pricey when I got mine and seasonal to be able to purchase one. you can find them on sale now days though.
I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Good review on that cart. The red gods didn't smile on me this deer season in Pa.Where I hunted that cart would work great. Rough terrain for this old man to drag a deer out. I'll have one for next season.
i dont mean to be so offtopic but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Gregory Braylen i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
thank you buddy, yea it works really well for my trapping vids I used it in the swamps and it was good also along the edges was able to drag nearly 200 lbs like nothing.
Solid rubber tires are not the answer. Not only are they too heavy, but just like taking a baseball bat and hitting a solid pole as hard as you can, the shock wave when you go over a bump goes right up your arm and shoulder if your are pulling the weight and you feel it. The wheel barrow tire bounces, and takes the shock so when you hit a bump, you do not feel it in your hand, arm, or shoulder. Best example would be to take two wheel barrows, one with a regular tire with air, and one with a solid rubber tire. Push them both full of weight and you will feel the difference in your arms.
I used it a few years and even ran full beaver traplines in the woods and around swamps loaded it up with 350-450 lbs with all gear and beavers held up well
MILLION DOLLER IDEA! Check out what ben packer and hipstar are doing. Compact and has the hip carriers. There designed to fit large bag packs in them. Be great to have since you can make them compact and carry them with your meat backpack. They are only rated at 80 pounds tho. We can't wait to see a similar design rated at 250 - 300 pounds that's 20 pounds and under , that's highly durable and bulletproof. I'd drop $1000 if it had a nice warenty. Just imagine them for long week hunting trips! JUST IMAGINE THEM FOR 1 WEEK TO 2 WEEK TRIPS :) One of the companies even has snow sled attachments for the wheels :) you just couldn't beat one that was ratted for 250 - 300 pounds. GOTTA HAVE AIRLESS BULLET PROOF TIRES! 🙂🦌🐐💪 Will be a hit for hardcore hunters thru hikers campers preppers and survivalists! Benpacked asks $1000 for Thiers and hipster hasn't launched yet but is asking around $400. Any of these hardcore pack hunting companies like stone glacier, exo, initial ascent, Barney's Alaskan packs, should start making these but way better than 80 pounds!

Nice congrats and that’s great I’m actually about to get another one I had to sell my last one but really need it for bear especially

Thanks!
Glad you saw something different and enjoyed the video. just wanted to bring out different options, thanks for watching
I’ve got both. The sled works great on snow and leaves. I use the cart on two tracks on state owned land.

@@keithlambert6217 I agree actually not all places can get a cart into them also where I hunt great response thanks

Tires suck ,bought new tires at harbor freight better quality.
Wow, I love how the wheels work on that thing!
thanks buddy, yea it really is different and works well with heavier weight.
That's a neat cart. I like the fact the tires rotate on the axles 360.
yep huge sell point for me works well thanks for watching
Saw you chatting over at Boxie Outdoors and thought I would check out your channel. Great videos and nice game cart. Take care.
thank you, appreciate you checking out my channel and hope you look around might find something you enjoy. take care
@@paparomesoutdoors711 I defiantly will.

@Gregory Braylen it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my ass :D
@Lukas Ethan Glad I could help :D
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
looks like a great deer cart
thank you buddy, yea it works really well for my trapping vids I used it in the swamps and it was good also along the edges was able to drag nearly 200 lbs like nothing.
Looks like a great cart!!
It is!thanks for watching
Wow that cart is sweet
thanks brotha appreciate it, I used this in my water trapping vids, those beaver traps weigh so much to carry them far I use this sometimes
I use our skidder
wish I had one of those, but then again we cant use any motor vehicles on public lands
That cart I awesome many more uses beside deer
Raymond Williams totally I used this in my water trapping video loaded it with over 100 lbs of steel and fur was grey
I drag mine with hills and downed trees
Do these carts hold up to the wet or do they rust out? Mine is currently getting rained on in the bed of my truck...
I haven’t had mine rust but then again I never leave it out either it may be possible
Nice cart👍
thank you works well makes dragging an ease
@@paparomesoutdoors711 in

yep works really good thanks JOhn.
Add a lithium battery for some power assist.
Now we're talking.
Let’s see it in the actual woods.
