A buddy of mine bought this one last year and is pleased. We bagged one each during last year's season and the winch worked well. Now, if your shoulders are blown I don't think any of these mid priced winchs will work. You'd need to go for a more expensive one with a better and easier crank mechanism.

I think @FrankT posted a few hogs from one in the past.

Maybe get a mobility scooter lift might work but expensive. I’m sure there are homemade rigs depending on your construction skill. Here’s 2 links to some ideas as well:


This is just a general lifting assist:

I made a hoist one time with a winch just because I had broken some ribs and couldn’t load a deer at the time. But, let me post a couple of pics of my new set up I built about mid day today, heading out to the woods in a little bit and too dark to take pics right now, you and others will absolutely love what I built to load deer up, don’t mind anybody copying it one bit, will check back in with pics around lunch today

Ok here we go, first of all if you don’t have a Jet Sled you don’t know what you’re missing, been using a sled now for maybe 4 seasons, best thing ever. I’ve used carts in the past that I built but the Jet Sled slides and glides easily through the woods, over logs, float your deer across a beaver pond or creek. I also use mine to carry corn to feeders in the woods. I’m currently hunting off of an Isuzu Trooper with 5 speed manual as I prefer SUV’s over trucks since I haul so much hunting gear and can keep stuff locked up and secure and since it’s my dedicated hunting vehicle I leave stuff in it year round, I’m not bashing the truck owners as I have two trucks myself, years ago I tried hunting off my Jeep TJ, then I progressed to a Ford Bronco, loved it and the hauling capacity for my gear, but rough on fuel. So now I’m hooked on SUV’s and next hunting vehicle I get is a Suzuki Samurai, really neat and I did a lot of mods to it but in cold weather the heater sucked, next I get a 4 door Suzuki Sidekick, one of the best vehicles to hunt off of, had been looking for a little more room though and finally found a Trooper and I’ve used it for 3 years now. When I truck hunted I built a heavy duty hoist that I made to pivot to aid in loading deer when I had broken some ribs and a hoist is very very handy to have. But, what I’m fixing to show you is how I load my deer, and I can load my deer and be gone quicker than anybody so easily you would not believe it. I built a rack out of pipe cause that’s what I had in the scrap pile, I built the rack to accommodate the Jet Sled, on one end of the rack I made a tail gate, once I’ve loaded my deer on the sled, I pull it up on the rack easy peasy and close the gate and run a strap across and I’m gone. The sled is ideal for hauling the carcass off, it’s ideal to keep blood out of the back of your truck too. This is my method and at 61 years old I can load a deer and be gone with it so fast it’ll make you dizzy. Forgot to mention, I used 2 turnbuckles on my rack to stop any wobble in it at the receiver hitch.

Good deal, I use my hitch haul with a sled for a lot of things so I do not have to lift into my truck bed, a ratchet strap or 2 and it is very secure..also helps when the bed is full to add more carrying capacity

Sure beats breaking your back trying to stuff one in the truck. I use the hitch basket too.

Sportsman guide has them i seen one for 104.00 I have one myself but son has it right now still works great

A lot of deer leases have an old tractor for food plots etc. I have used a simple boompole on the 3pt hitch of a tractor which allows makes lifting a deer into a truck, trailer or just a mobile processing station very easy!

Good morning, I have recently lost my hunting property, and have a Viking Solutions L-E-vator Game Loader, for sale. I purchased it on Amazon. I used it 3 or 4 times to put 50 lb bags of corn in my truck. My shoulders are not what they used to be, so it is much easier to lift things. I have put 300 lbs of corn on it, and it worked very well.
I will sell for $90.00 firm. I reside in Pace and would be glad to meet you somewhere, in the Pensacola, milton area. Lee

That Jet Sled looks awesome, I can think of many uses for it. Looks like I could easily pull it with my ATV, especially in MS where the ground is usually wet during hunting season! What size did you get, the 54" or 66" long one?

 

[DixieReb]

54”

 

[Sam 270]

Already purchased hitch hoist works perfect

 

[Fodderwing]

I just drag them to the skinng tree with my four wheeler.

Here's another option:

Yard Glider (Drag Mat, Stone Boat, Yard Sled)

Yard Glider loads easier, hauls more, dumps faster and stores easier than carts, tarps and wheel barrows. Built to last. USA Yard Glider The Cart Without Wheels

looks like you might be able to roll it up to make it easier to carry
