Jet Sled?

[jerseyhunter]

When I had a cover on my pick up it was left in the bed most of the year. Has many uses .

I have a jet sled and just have a cord with knots (in the holes) to use for pulling deer out.  Is there a better way to attach the cord that I should be aware of? Will the knots ware away the plastic?

I bought one for deer hunting for all the reasons listed over the years of reading about them and now I use it also to survey streams and ponds because we can load up the survey gear and drag it through wetlands, over river banks, etc.  It has become invaluable and is often in the back seat of my car. (God, do I need a truck again!).

Look at my pix on page 2. I added a piece of PVC as a handle that 2 people can use.

Definitely a good investment for a lot more than getting deer out of the woods. A handy item everyone should have, hunting or not.

I saw that and made a mental note to do that on mine - will make for a more comfortable grip for sure and shorten the rope at the same time!

It's so much easier on the hands to grip the PVC rather than the rope. Also be sure to cut the PVC long enough so that 2 guys can comfortably grab it..

I agree here. I didn't use PVC, I bought vinyl tubing - like this:

But I wish I cut mine long enough. Keep meaning to go get more and put a longer piece on my sled.

I am definitely going to attach a piece. Great idea.

I ran the rope through an old piece of garden hose. Much more comfy then just the rope.

I shoot mine and drag them out no problem.  They drag really nice on snow.

Yes I noticed that.  Looks great.  Did you make that? or purchase it somewhere?

 

Thanks
