I made my one for under ten bucks in materials ( it is in the photo with the stag and rifle above). You are welcome to borrow it for a try, doesnt make the deer any lighter but lowers the COG so that sidling is easy and there is no fighting for balance

Not sold, my qualms aren't with comfort they are with load through joints etc. I don't see it working well with bone removed. Sure it's fine for mellow semi open bush stuff but there's no way I'm putting a deer across sideways like that coming down a bush spur with no track that often are steep enough I'm already getting hung up by my pack. My pack carry weight well with the load shelf. I do enough dumb shit I don't need to be crippled by the time I'm 60. My father did stuff like this now there's not a hope in hell he'd hunt anywhere I do and he's still got 5 years to 60.
