One of my least favorite aspects of this sport.... but sometimes unavoidable. I have tried it all it seems... burlap sack over the back (awkward), ribcage draped across the shoulders(restricts breathing), actually been cutting limbs down, and stringing them through shirts to make a "make-shift gourney" to pack a dog out.... makes for hard, slow moving in thick bush however... Any good tips yall can throw my way? ....dreading the day I have to pack one of these Dogos out 5 miles deep into the swamp...   Thanks, Noah |

Make u a back pack of sorts the burlap works just make a back pack out of it. Shirt works also. You can also put it forward also

Noah, i personally have never used one but i do know a couple guys that use the "big game retrieval carts" for haulin out pigs/ dogs where 4wheeler access is either limited or restricted. Check em out, there are numerous different variations and manufacturers.

Cart would be nice, but would never work where we go... main issue for me usually, is getting the dog wrapped tight to control movement/bleeding... thinking along the lines of having an extra man bring in a "framed" hiking back pack that a dog can be secured in.
... still thinking though.

What really slows things down is having to get down on hand and knees and crawl through sections... makes transport real rough...

G.I. duffle bags are cheap and abundant and are a lot smaller than the backpack and frame.

How bout a big T shirt and some big clothes pins, put shirt on, fold it up around the dog in front of you and pin it up, like a kangaroo pouch.
Takes some of the weight off your arms and puts it on shoulders.

Noah. your post about packing out a dog from deep in the swamps brings to mind a funny story I had all but forgotten about. When we were teenagers, back in the 70's, a friend and myself were fishing for Alligator Snapping Turtles way back in the swamp. I couldn't make it
one day to go run the turtle lines so my friend decided to go by himself. About 3 miles back in the swamp he catches about an eighty pound turtle. After giving it some thought he came up with the idea of making a back pack out of the turtle and walking out of the swamp with him. The turtle had swallowed the hook and had about 10 feet of line hanging out of his mouth. He tied this line real tight to his tail
so it would keep his head pulled back. He then tied the left front leg to the left back leg then the right front to the right back leg. A
perfect back pack if you will. He passed his arms through the tied together legs and got him on his back and started heading out of
the swamp. Everything was going as planned until about half way out of the swamp the turtle spits the hook which frees his head up and
that sumbtch decides to bite him on the shoulder. An 80 pound turtle has a head about the size of a soccer ball. The turtle would not let go for nothing. He walked all the way home with this turtle strapped to his back while the turtle was latched on to his shoulder. When he came out the swamp his dad thought someone had shot him. There was blood everywhere. His dad had to cut the ligaments in the turtles
jaw so he would let go. I bust a gut laughing every time I am reminded of that day.

I wanna get one for myself for packing out hogs but you use a hard plastic liner that can roll up. Looks like it should roll over the brush and rocks. Very durable.

Noah, I don't if there is a better way to pack one out other than the T-shirt/limb gourney. If you think about it, some carry a backpack with em, and I know I do... but I don't know how in the world I would carry around a military pack wrapped up in that thing, or for that matter a cart in the woods... seems that the T-shirt/limb gourney is the most efficent way of carrying them out when you're deep in the woods/swamp/ect... just have some mule tape with you and strap em down before you get to moving.
