Lift with your grandson, and not with your back...

 

He is not with me when me when I go deer hunting. It is usually the weekend when he is spending time with his mother or working get his pickup ready for when is 16.

 

Anything to keep from having a back injury is well worth the price.
I know too many hunters that have quit hunting because they can’t get the deer in the truck for various reasons.
I almost took out my back 30+ years ago trying to lift a 190 something lb field dressed buck into the truck alone by myself. It took almost a year before getting back to normal.
Life and lifting is much easier now with the ATV and a winch.

 

When I took my Moose in Canada in 2016, the guide had a set up just like in Dennis' video in the bed of his truck. He pulled the entire moose up in the truck that way.

He drove the truck into the Skinning shed back at the lodge. Drove in under a big overhead gantry crane and lifted the moose out. Then he pulled a trailer under the moose, lowered the moose to work on it, dumping the guts into the trailer.

No strained back for those young guys.

 

Yeah, I'm still the idiot who grabs the buck by the antler and deadlifts it into the back of my truck. Why I haven't re-injured myself is a blessing from my stupidity. Honestly, I spend 10-20 days per year laying in bed on various occasions from my multiple back issues.

I have probably 2-3 more years (or one bad lift) before that isn't an option anymore.

 

When lifting manually, I found lifting with the back legs first vs antler first was much easier after a year recovery from the other way.
I do have this alternative lift as well if the ATV isn’t taken.
It’s a lift designed to be mounted in the rear corner of a truck to lift items into the bed. It was $100 bucks at a tool show. I just adapted a piece of 2” square heavy wall tubing so it would fit the receiver hitch. Rotates 360 degrees.
Rated 1000lbs without being extended, 500 lbs when extended as in the pic.
When lifting into the truck, I do put all four legs together at the same time to clear the tail gate.
