It looks like it might work great! Are they designed to be pushed more than pulled though? Your comment about shortening the legs got me thinking it might be tough to pull through brush. One thing we use up in Mich. and off the beaten path in Ohio is a big sled. Doesn't matter if there is snow or not, it makes pulling deer through the woods pretty easy. Putting it in the back of the truck with a deer in it can also be done by one person, provided it's not the 300 lb giant LOL!
