Get the monster first, then worry about solving that problem. When you do you will see how much strength you have with pure adrenaline 

I have a guy like this on the farm. Winches, lifts, pulleys, the entire $75K truck designed to load an haul deer  but he can not kill one. Maybe the worse hunter I ever met with more money than brains.

Man up. Grab em and throw em in the bed. Lol. Jet sled and piece of plywood. Slides right in

I used to put in sled then lift front onto tailgate and pick up back while pushing in, but it became hard to do after I added the runners.  The runners get hung up on the tailgate, and if I put the front at a steeper angle so the runners are on the tailgate before lifting the back, then it wants to slide back on me.  Now I keep a folding ramp in the back of the truck with the sled and will just push the sled up the ramp.  Haven't been able to try it yet, but it should be very easy.

I'm old school.  I step up onto the tailgate and use the drag rope to pull the front half of the deer up onto the tailgate.  Then hop down and lift the back of the deer up into the bed, it takes about 20 seconds.  You kids and your modern technology.

No. I didn't realize they were still there until I got it back to camp and hung. When I get a 200+lb deer down and I am by myself my mind doesn't always do what it should in the proper order.

I used a Viking Rack Jack Magnum to get a 427lb bear into the back of my truck by myself.  I'm sure it will work fine for deer. 

I second Bonefreak's jetsled method for deer.

I have one of these but only used it once when the back was really bad. Got it for lifting a 4 stroke 9.8 motor on and off a boat as well. The down side is it takes a lot of room in the truck bed since it does not fold up. Would be good for butchering the deer as well:

I do the same as Rusty if I’m by myself. If one  of my buddies are there, we each pick up a side of the jet sled and slide it in the bed of the truck like a coffin in a hearse.

My sister in law loads her deer into her truck like Rusty, and shes about 5 foot even. Just sayin

If the buck in that video is 180# I'm a whale. Anyway, the easiest way to get a deer into a pickup is to take the tailgate off the truck (its not that hard). It takes away the angle shortening the distance you need to move the deer into the bed. You can put the head on the bumper, get in, bend down, and pull it right in. Even easier with a jetsled.

I thought the same thing.  That deer isn’t even remotely close to 180

Just get a pair of these, they work like a charm.

That's how I did it until I tore both biceps, and got the sled a few years ago.  My truck has a cap and the floor is carpeted, so it was a pain keeping plastic under it at the same time.  I spray the sled with permethrin mix to kill any ticks that fall off the deer, then spray the pelt after it drops back into the sled after butchering.  It kills those buggers instantly
