Hello from Oklahoma! I was taught to keep a sheet of 3/4 exterior plywood in my pickup bed, with a hole top center for your rope. Tie the head at the top thru the hole. pick it up on the other end slide it in. Still works for me and I'm 64 years young. Oh yeah, I generally field dress my deer, cuts about a third to half off the weight.
Plywood is so much easier, really. Drag it up as high as you can, and you gain leverage.
An electric winch on a receiver hitch game pole, is the bestest way, though. 😂
Sheet of plywood comes in handy a helluva lotta ways when you away from civilization, and it only costs 3/4” of space in your truck when you load up to leave.
Genius sir. :)
@@bigl6322 true, but three straps weighs a whole lot less than the plywood which may be important in areas that have exorbitant gas prices, also straps are also extremely helpful when you're out in the middle of nowhere
@macdoctor145 Lol... the weight from a sheet of 3/4 plywood is a gas mileage killer. Seriously ?
I can’t believe he has a deer willing to let him hoist his body into a truck. So docile.
🤣
Somebody's pet
They are pretty much the perfect pet
Trying gutting it first then it becomes much lighter 😉
Also, hog tying the legs together and using them to lever the body over the tailgate would make the process even easier!
Damn dude, you can sure make simple things difficult
Thought the same thing
@@Wazup4177 Is a help for the big ones with a few modifications
Not all people hunting solo have the strength to just pick it up, as a matter of fact there 100s of circumstances where this could be useful.
@@CooscoopI'm one of those people, still saying he's making this much more difficult than necessary.
just pick the danm thing up and put it in your truck
Huntman Playzz it’s heavy
Agreed
Some people have disabilities and can't do all that heavy lifting. 50lbs could be considered heavy to some.
Gut it will take some weight off.
I've got a truck with a lift you're going to lift the deer shoulders high to load it in my truck I use a winch
Cut an 8-10” board as long as the truck bed. Lay one end on the truck put your against to board and pull the deer up on the board. Pick up the end of the on the ground and slide deer and board into truck bed.
Been doing it by myself for years.
I’m 65 and still load them this way.
Exactly how I’ve been doing it for decades. By far the easiest way.
A big one will make the eyes bulge a bit. By notching the board top end it fits against the tray end, and you can see saw the carcass up the angled board avoiding the direct lift. Requires balancing carefully, starting again is character building. It can help to have similar winch systems either side that can be braked enabling a rest on the big ones.
I appreciate this video. Being a petite female deer hunter, that hunts by herself this would be super helpful. Thank you so much for sharing
No one should hunt alone. Solo huntn is an absolute no no.
what? people hunt all the time alone. if had to go with another person all the time I would be hunting way less. you go when you can. is it safer is something happens with another hunter, yes but the world is not a safe place. not gonna stay at home cause no one else can go. going alone today . @@XFUSER
Hunting alone is totally fine. Dragging the deer out is where you find a friend can be useful. But it has to be a friend strong enough to actually help and with a good enough place to hunt they won't steal your spot...
Ill go hunting with your BB
I think it is very clear this man would have been more than capable of picking up this deer and loading it into the back of the truck, it is evident based on the fact that he flipped the animal up over the tailgate once it reached the top with no problem whatsoever. That being said, in the description of the video it does say "Loading a deer into a vehicle by yourself can be almost impossible depending on the size of the animal and person" now for an able bodied person lifting up a deer this size is no problem at all, even carrying a deer a long distance in the woods over your shoulder and loading it up once you get there is a breeze. Please hear me out though; picture yourself a less able bodied person, 70+ years plus of age but stubborn as a mule to still do things on your own (I'm sure you now the type) You're out on the hunt by yourself and you happen to bag a 210lbs monster buck. You have hooked up the deer to your ATV and dragged it to the truck.....but now the hard part...how in the heck do you get this buck in the truck? Watch this video and you will learn how. This system is very well thought out. If we are in the hunting community we have surely heard of people abandoning the sport due to health reasons or physical concerns. This system may prolong the hunting lifestyle of a lifelong outdoor enthusiast who, although, may no longer be able to do some heavy lifting, still carries a never ending passion for the outdoors. Thanks for sharing this video Gamehandlers.
Maybe. But picking up a dead deer from the ground is much harder than pushing it that last little nudge when the load is already at waist level.
You would think he was loading a full grown elk.
Men: what the hell did I just watch
Women: this is so amazing!
Thank you for this video. I went and purchased these straps since I am a woman who hunts alone. Im older now and lifting things is getting harder so this is PERFECT for my truck! Thank you!
Make friends or mentor a kid to continue the sport. Kids have to learn from people who care about the sport.
A ramp made of a board works, as wide as you need it to balance the carcass across, & strong enough to handle the biggest one. Best if it has a step in the top end to rest its upper end on the tailgate and not creep up into the tray when winching up the carcass. The angle is easier that a direct lift if it it see sawed up. Don't let it drop off either side. The length of teh tray dictates the board length, for transport. Can winch up 100kg+ carcasses alone using it.
Update: got my first big Buck a few days ago and I had to use these straps. Worked perfectly. Highly recommend.
We call those labradoodles, lol! But seriously I found out when I was about 15 that adrenaline will load one when headlights are coming!
Lol…😂. Truth!
I’m in my early 30s, not an athlete by any means, best deadlift was 275 lbs, and I hunt northern Alberta. Every 3 year old+ buck I’ve ever weighed has been 270-300 lbs live weight. Only way I can load one solo is with a 6’ board I lean against the tailgate and gutting the deer first, but even then it’s a huge effort.
I use a hitch carrier that works pretty well, not as high and no mess in your truck, and all the city folks get to see where good meat comes from. 😉
So much easier!
I like the plywood described below better. I've used a ratchet rope to lift head off ground and onto truck. Pickup rear and toss on. Less tossing if use plywood or wide board. Lot less equipment too and less hassle.
Thing will be all bloated up by the time he's done re-inventing the wheel.
Im going to get laughed at, but i keep an old plastic slide from kids swingset in my truck during deer season. Thing is lightweight and deer just slides right up. Works great!
Super idea.
Cut a piece of 1/2 inch plywood the same length as the bed. Prop the plywood from the tailgate to the ground. Tie a line around the deer's head. Climb into the bed and pull the deer onto the plywood. Get out of the bed, lift the plywood from the ground and slide the plywood and the deer into the bed. That is a lot simpler method Otis.
That's so much easier. If you can't lift the plywood with the deer put a hole in the end of the plywood run a strap across the tie downs closest to the cab and then run a strap off that to the plywood and rachet it on.
This guy eats the guts
Great info and video. But 1st before you drag a deer by yourself you should field dress it. Makes dragging AND loading a whole lot easier. You drag a 200lb + buck or even a 130lb doe not field dressed 300 yards to your vehicle, then you won't have the energy or strength left to even try this method if doing by yourself. Especially if you have to drag up a steep hill. But good info and idea thanks
If there is a slope accessible, back the tailgate up to the slope, drag the deer above it and slide it down into the bed.
Simply use a single ATV ramp and pull up by myself in just a few seconds.
This is like one of those pasta commercials where the noodles and sauce are flying onto the cupboards and ceiling because you didn’t have the “pasta bowl” 😂
If you took the cables off the tail gate, 5 seconds, and let it drop, wouldn't that work as a slide? Seems it would be easier.
They're great for cottontails too!
It would be even easier if you put the yellow cross strap onto the holes located at the top of the corners of the bed.
Do I have to do this for small game to?
You can also use a sheet of ply wood and lay one end agaonst your tailgate and put the deer on it and just raise it up and push it in
I don't see how this could possibly work on a larger deer. On a small deer yes, but a big deer...... not happening. I've used 4 wheeler ramps or a couple of 2 x 4's and pulled them up the "ramp" using ratchet straps before. That works pretty good if you are by yourself.
It also helps a lot if you field dress the deer before loading it. So much lighter but maybe a little messier but hey, it’s all part of the experience.
Obviously this guy ain't never done any nefarious shit before time is of the essence
Lol…ain’t that the damn truth! 😂
i knew this was not going to be a good idea from the moment i saw the choice of truck he uses.
I wonder if you could use a piece of 1/4 “ plywood about 20” wide x 4’ long to lever it up once you get to the furthest point ?
What I have done a number of times is, tie front legs together, and tie back legs together with a rope making a large loop.
Get in truck bed with loop reaching down as low as I can taking out slack so the deer's feet are straight up, and pick up.
Start walking backwards, drag the deer in, and done.
Be sure you have a spray-in bed liner so you don't slip.

Oh boy!! I’m a pretty big fellah and my first thought was cmon man just pick it up. But thereafter I soon thought about the elderly, petite people, and anyone in between. But I will say this, Sir you have made absolute internet gold on this here online. I hope you get so many checks from the TH-cams that you start eating your deer loin with gold flake on it like that Salt Bae fellah. It’s that easy to get a viral video but I’ve still yet haven’t figured out how to do it. I commend thee good sir. Happy hunting.
That's a doe! Try a 250 lb buck
Would it hurt to drop the tailgate down to come up at a 45?
If there's a hill or a bank you can back up to that's quick & easy
What's like a great way to lift a heavy load without breaking your back. I imagine there's several ways of doing it, but this is definitely an excellent way. And all you need is a few straps which most people with trucks usually have anyway.
Curious why your deer isn't first field dressed? That reduces a lot of weight.
@Willie Miss 45 Depends on the deer. With a mature buck the innards can weigh anywhere from 30 to 45 lbs. That's a substantial amount.
@williemiss4520Who was knocking anything?
Sometimes you don't want to leave any evidence at the site so you take the whole deer.
I’m glad I’m a grown man
Get a jet sled. Use it to drag deer to truck = way easier. Then sit front of jet sled on edge of tailgate. Go to rear of jet sled and push it into truck bed. I do strap the deer in the jet sled.
my back just hurts watching
Great idea , especially those of us that have bad backs or can't lift a ungainly load
Just drag it on a trailer or onto a cargo carrier. Most of the time mine are from boat access only, thats a little more difficult but still easy enough with one person.
That’s way to much for a little deer 😂
To each his own,I don’t gut my deer till I get home.I have a electric winch on the ceiling of my garage. Maybe he has a bad back!
much easier to use a $10 ratchet rope from home depot.
Great video.
I could 😂have been at the processor by now !😂
question for you and good video by the way! why wouldnt you gut it first save you about 40lbs?
I'm not saying that this is the case, but a very large number of people only know how to shoot one and not field dress, skin, quarter, and work up the deer. They take it straight to a butcher shop and pay for processing. I used to help out some people and would field dress, skin, and quarter it up in exchange for one of the back straps and both tenderloins. I left them to process the quarters.
How do you make the straps?
Ima make my kids do this just so I don’t have to 😂
Why use those straps when you have to manually pick the little deer up anyway?
The most difficult part of a lift is getting it off the ground.
This lets you get under it and use your legs instead of your back.
Deer weighed about 80 lb Maybe it would have took nothing to get it in the back of the truck.
I killed one last Saturday that weighed 190 lb with the guts in it that was fun loading up by myself LOL just grabbed by the antlers and pull..
This guy acts like he's loading an elk. Lol
No animals were harmed to show this demonstration.
I load my deer in a JetSled to drag them out of the woods. Just pick up one end of the sled and put it one the tailgate. Walk around to the opposite end, lift it up and slide it in. Or, slide the JetSled up a 2x10 ramp. This system works but, nah!
I say this without any bravado or boast, but as an average sized guy I have zero difficulty loading a deer into the back of a truck all by myself.
If it’s a heavy buck that you can’t just lift, then just reach down and grab the antlers and bring the head and shoulders onto the tailgate, and then stand and use your legs to pull the rest on up.
I just carry two boards or a partial piece of plywood . Prop it on tailgate slide it up into truck . Been doing it for years
He had enough time to dig a hole and back into it! At least he got it loaded. Just in time to take the rotten carcus to the landfill!
So nice of the deer to cooperate the whole process throu
Pick it up and put it in the truck. 😂
My first thought, not much bigger than a large dog
That one would fit in the glove box.
ATV ramps work great, preferably ones with little holes not ladder type
Try that with a 180 inch. 240 lb buck
Wow I'm glad my old man was hard on me,I load 300+ whitetails on my lifted truck,by hand,wimps lol
You did it the hard way. I can do it with just one strap. 😂
Hell yeah become the Hulk...
That's a way to get it in the truck. I'd be halfway down the road by the time you put the straps on the deer.
if theres a ditch near you just back up into it and drag the deer to the other side of the ditch and just drag the deer into the back of your truck.
A piece of plywood as a ramp would make it a lot easier. Fortunately, my grandson is in top condition to help. Yes, field dressing saves a lot of weight. I was taught to field dress just after taking the game.
Good video for smaller people and for very large deer. If it's a buck I just get in the bed, while holding the antlers and pull it up. A doe, her ears are getting stretched 😂
Very informative, thank you.
So....I think this is aimed at the less capable hunters but wouldnt it just be cheaper for someone to buy a couple ratchet straps and use the ratchet strap to lift the deer by both ends?
Plywood; one person, no lifting, loaded in less than 1 minute. If you tailgate is too high above ground level; 2 pieces of plywood connected with hinges...
I like the way you do thanks
Might work for a small deer like that...and you just overloaded that dodge pickup...
That's a really small deer
Tie head up to tail gate, get in bed and pull deer up. Now when I get older I’ll just tell my son to do it lol.
Imagine if that was an elk. Ya that ain’t gonna happen. Lol
Wedge a leg, head or antler in the tail gate support get in the truck and pull it in….
I'm guessing that there are trees around..get the gambrel and hoist combo. What you would use to hang a deer if you are out away for a few days and get one and hang it.. .then just back your truck up under it and lower it onto the truck ..
If you hunt a field with no trees around?? I guess this works..
People, please. The guy was just demonstrating how to do this with a deer he happened to get, as a helpful hint. I'm sure if he wasn't doing a video to show this method, he'd have just picked up the deer. I'm sure it didn't go much more than 100-110 pounds .
I guess I'm just a more selective deer hunter...did you at least wipe the milk from it's muzzle before you shot?
That's really awesome right there. I needed that the other day to load out some hogs.
Field dressing it first would be a good start.
When he put that strap across the bed, I thought he was goin to put a come-along on it & crank it on up in there. Nope.
still seems easier to pick it up and manually lift it onto the truck bed
Have fun getting blood all over your clothes.
Well it’s not.
@@TheYamahog12Well, it is. This video is clearly intended for those who are smaller, older, or less capable.
A small deer like in this video is just a lift and roll into the bed. A good size deer you just lift the head and antlers onto the tailgate and then climb into the bed and pull with your legs the rest of the deer on up.
@@jimyeatsThat’s not easier. Especially when you get old.
@@TheYamahog12 Agree to disagree, but if you read my post I note that if you are smaller or older it may not be easier.
With that said, arguing that it isn’t easier for the average male to just lift it into the back of the truck simply because it isn’t easy for you, is like saying that just because you can’t lift a box onto a shelf it’s easier to take everything out one at time and thats the way everyone should do it.
Nice
I just pick them up into my truck, if it is a wall hanger I have a wench for the bed of my truck that works great.
What's up with guting the deer and just pick it up and I'm 11 and I do that
Got to hurry,game warden coming!!
Lmfao just toss it in the truck! It's a little deer😂
Nice...
the deer was playing possum
I have a electric winch in the bed of my truck
Use a ramp, and come along. Just winch it right into the bed. Much easier then this tangled cluster of ratchet straps
Jet sled and four wheeler ramp
2 2x4s and a plastic sled pinhead
Them guts be rotting inside
Just keep some rope with ya. A Clove hitch & a Tauntline hitch will do the same thing.
Wheaties 😮
