As I am getting older I thought it was time to make a game cart. I used the front forks and tires from a couple of bicycles (20 inch tires) and I made the frame from electrical conduit and then I bolted it all together. Where the hinges are I used 2 pieces of flat stock and I used some webbing that I had collected over the years, that is why I never throw anything away. The total cost was 28 dollars and it works great, I pulled 3 deer out with it this year.

GaryL I was really happy I made it, for I shot a buck about 1/2 mile away from the truck this year up a old logging road. Once I got it loaded on to the cart it took no effort at all to bring the deer out. It paid for itself, save me from having a heart attack.

I like the cart, we made one along the same lines but out of aluminum tubing we had laying arround. I also like the building in the background, looks real nice, always have had a thing for board and batton buildings

Well I just saw the cart on homeade stuff, now here. I'll coment here also and say great job! By no means does it look homeade. Looks plenty strong enough and I like how it packs down small.
Wrong twice in one night, must not be my night. Thats a fence in the background and i thought it was the side of a building. My mistake, anyways great looking cart.

Nice cart, I am in the process of collecting the material to build one of those myself
The one thing you can look at doing to help with folding up your cart is to go to a bicycle shop & get the quick release axles & skewers for those wheels & then it will pack totally flat & no tools required to assemble etc.

A bad day hunting, is better then a good day of work
