This deer drag is fantastic. You stand upright and don't have to reach down or wrap a rope around your wrist and hand. The design creates a very balanced situation which reduces overall stress and effort. It goes over your shoulders like a backpack and you pull straight making the drag incredibly easy with no real strain on your arms or back. It is also adjustable for length. I dragged a 2 and half year old 9 point whitetail out on dry leaves by myself. On snow it would have been even easier. Simply the best deer drag I have used in over 40 years of hunting.
