Hunters Specialties Deluxe Deer Drag Hunting Adjustable Heavy Duty Strap Durable Deer Dragging Rope

I have owned a few of these over the years. My last one was about useless and so I ordered this one. I wanted to wait to post a review until I could actually test it. I am extremely happy to report that I dragged a 200+ lb deer up a ravine and about 400yrds using this and this is by far the best one I have owned. The waist strap and the chest strap make such a huge difference in comparison to others I ha e owned without them. The rope that comes with this is very short and not nearly enough length to drag a deer with. I am 6'2" and with the provided rope I had to squat on my knees to use it. Fortunately, I had a few carabiners and extra rope in my pack and after a quick switch got to work quickly and effortlessly dragged my deer. I have to say on the behalf of the manufacturer or seller that I can not knock them for the rope length though. I purchased this for the harness and overall the quality was much better than I expected it to be and has functioned better than any other I've owned. I did use this to drag one additional deer the next day with my longer rope modification and after two full uses I have nothing but good things to say. In order to make this even better I purchased 2 padded straps normally used for seat belt padding and comfort from a local auto parts store and added them to the chest portion of this harness. I am excited for the next use with that add on but again nothing but a huge thumbs up and good praise for this harness. By far the best I've owned. Get you one if you're on the fence!

For the money this belongs in every solo hunters pack. I was surprised at the thickness of the straps, and the overall quality for what I paid for it. I just used it last week to drag an old doe out of a muddy cornfield. The supplied rope looked way too short at first, but i made it into a constricting loop, and put the deer's front legs and head through. Turns out it is the perfect length to pick up the deer a bit, and aid in the dragging. Overall it worked very well, distributing the load on both my shoulders and my waist. I felt like I had a lot more power to drag, versus pulling with my arms out behind me. It also packs down pretty small. The waist was huge, I trimmed a good amount off for my use, but it's nice they make it big enough to fit anybody.

I'd used a single-sling for years, but it was putting too much strain on my neck & one shoulder. This distributes the weight much more effectively.

I shot a 250 pound bear this past week and I used this harness and drag this across the field like nothing. I can’t say enough about it saved me strapping stuff to my back for the price easy to use no-brainer must have in your backpack.

Although it can be a little confusing finding out what strap goes where when first putting it on, especially if you've just killed a deer at sunset and now have to put it on in the pitch black of the woods, it is a great harness. A harness is an excellent choice for dragging deer, much more so if you have back, arm or joint issues like myself. It allows you to use your entire upper body to drag your deer, plus it leaves your hands free so you can still carry your other gear while dragging the deer. Even a pack can be worn overtop of this harness with ease. I highly recommend you practice putting it on before you ever get out to the field, and I even recommend that once you get it on right, you use a permanent marker to label left shoulder, right shoulder, and the waist strap. That'll make putting it on so much easier the second time. For the price, it can't be beat. The material isn't incredibly heavy but should stand up to dragging deer just fine. I didn't have any problems with it in the woods.

the harness did not come with a D ring installed as pictured but it included a piece of rope. sadly, the rope is too short as the deer/sled would hit my heels if used. but for what i paid I'll keep it and buy a D ring and some rope.

I paired this up with a game sled and it made dragging my bear out of the woods a much easier task. Being able to distribute the weight and allowing you to lean into your pull without holding on to what you're dragging makes this quite effective.Simple. Cheap. Effective. A+

Good quality

I bought this harness to pull my Smitty sled for ice fishing over snow and ice. I used it about five times and it worked very well.

Looks like a good product well made

*IntroI go winter camping once or twice a year and I carry my stock by pulling a sled tied around my waist. I was using a simple tool belt for a couple of years and as soon as the terrain was not leveled, the weight of the load would push or pull the belt around my torso, eventually making it harder to control the sled and at the end of the day I'd worked harder than needed and would be exhausted.*I have been shopping for a good pulling harness, mostly crossfit harnesses and sled harnesses, both offering solutions a lot more expansive than this one and generally not very suitable for my sled. I bought this one thinking that for the cost I couldn't lose much to try. Oh boy am I glad I gave it a try. The quality is a lot higher than expected, the amazon picture does not honor the product.I added a couple of eyelets to the waist band and it works like a charm with my sled.

I haven't actually use it to pull deer yet but did pull wife off of chair while she held it.

Sa devrait bien servir se a quoi c'est sensé servir. Pas encore essayer mais a l'air robuste. Bonne grandeur et ajustement facile.
