Just saw one that was fabricated using an aluminum step ladder, wheels and other attachments were attached so they and the axle did not interfere with using the ladder as a ladder. Make it easy to use the ladder to put a pulley on a high limb, so you could hang the game. Easier than driving under the limb if you could or climbing the tree. Looked like a good idea to me, it had brakes and a fold down stand.

Got a picture? Sounds like a good idea.

🙂

No picture, it was on a trailer going down Main Street, traveling slow enough I got a good view of the general setup, no details. Shouldn't be hard to figure something out based on the idea. Thought it was a good plan for a cart. This one had two wheels, mounted about a quarter of the way back from the front, could set up the ladder and the wheels would be clear of the ground. Were it me, I'd think hard about using one wheel, kinda set up like a wheel barrow but it would need some quick releases for the wheel, which might make the two wheel setup better.

How nice! The animal lovers will appreciate this idea. A game cart for transporting injured "creatures of God" to the nearest veterinary office for emergency surgery or whatever is needed to heal their wounds.;-)

Below is a photo of my game cart, as long as your idea of "game" is a total station, tripod, cones, prism pole, batteries, etc. The Foldit cart is aluminum, and collapses to a compact flat package for easy transport.

I use it in urban/campus situations when I can't get my truck close to the control.

I suppose you could use it to haul dead animals of modest size (<300 pounds) if you wanted, but I find it much more useful for surveying.

Jim,

That is pretty neat. I was wishing I had my ATV earlier today, as i was beat after working on a small job by myself today. It gets to be a bear sometimes lugging everything around by yourself at times.

I might have to invest in one of those for those residential jobs where the ATV or UTV is not practical.

Thanks,
Jimmy
