Just wondered if anyone just hooked the deer up to their safety harness strap and used the chest straps to help pull the deer out of the woods? I hope you understand what I am saying. (tie rope to deer, then end to back strap on harness)

Yep, I actually use by strap that goes from harness to the tree to secure the front legs behind the head so they drag like a sled. Hook er up and go.

I have done that but for some reason it just didn't work out as well as I thought it would. I had to lean way forward to drag the deer and it just didnt work like I'd hoped. I do cary a strap from an old harness that makes a loop around a doe(s) neck and it seems to work okay. Does not cut into my hand like a rope does. I weigh less than 200# so perhaps that would have worked out better for me if I were heavier.

My HSS comes with a deer drag and a place to hook it, I always use it to drag my deer; only way to go

Big believer in the HSS deer drag/suspension relief strap. That is until I had to drag one 150 yards across newly cut pine rows.
Talk about your abrupt stops and starts! I finally want back to holding on to the horns.

Ah been there....when that happens, I choke up on the drag to have it hold his head up in the air more
