A couple of weeks ago I was bowhunting down a long gated off road. It was a four mile hike to where I was. On my way out I saw a cooler on wheels next to a doe that someone had shot that morning. This is 4 miles from the truck! I couldn't imagine rolling that thing that far. I had only rounded one bend on the way out when I came up on a fellar pulling a little red wagon. I stopped and spoke to the man. Evidently, he had shot a hog the prior evening and was coming in to pack out the hog when he killed the deer. Anyway, he was bringing in the wagon to haul out the deer, hog, and cooler. He was really confindent that he had it all figured out, and I didn't want any advice. I wished him well and headed out. I figured he would have some trouble, but it would be a good lesson for him. The next weekend I was hunting the same area and walked up on his "discarded" red wagon. He abandoned it way back in the woods. I guess I will be hauling the wagon out myself soon! Can't leave such an eyesore in one of my favorite haunts.

Apex are you sure that is really true and not some early April Fools joke? Unbelievable!!!
Where can I get one?
I hope to see it in the classifieds. . . I have been looking for one of those :biglaugh:
Sad, but true!
just needs a wheel alignment and your good to go apex. :biglaugh:
nothing worse than junk lying around in the bush. you wouldn't believe the places i've found coke cans!
and i get ticked off when i find a food wrapper in the woods! Unbeleivable :banghead:
I the dude had a real radio flyer he wouldn't have had that wheel alignment problem.
[To quote everyones favorite rabbit, (Buggs Bunny),: "What a maroon"!]
My mother used to say that God took special care of babies, drunks and damn fools, which probably explains how the guy managed to kill a hog and a doe despite the obviously correct analysis by Unclewhit and Mr. Bunny.
The sad part is, the numb nutts actually blundered upon both a hog and deer. I'll hunt clean the rest of my days and not do that.
Now I finally know what the true purpose of that 4 wheeled thing my daughter plays with is! Mine is the exact same model as yours except mine is green. The green are much less conspicuous in the woods.
It's really good to know that there are idiots all over and not just here in New York.
Same here Ron, I thought for sure they all lived in MI.

I know the road he was on Marty. If he was that stupid wonder how he found his way back out even tho it was a dead end? Unfortunatly he is not the only stupid or inconsiderate jack out there.
Reminds me of the guy at HorseCreek that used beer cans for brite eyes. The whole 100 yards from the road.Idiot.RC
my kids won't even pull one of those dumb things. worst wagon of all time. I had a real radio flyer when i was a kid, back when people still made things out of metal. funny story btw
I didn't even like pullin my kid around the zoo in one of those much less all that stuff out of the woods. As far as the competance of the guy who left it, I don't even know what to say.
Just think he has to explain it to his kid how daddy broke the lil' red wagon.
That being said it's too bad that he passed on DNA.
Might work good for squirels.
OK I'll ask;Was the cooler full of beer?
great story.
I know that road too and it is hard enough to walk in or out with a pack on much less pulling a cooler or that thing, What a moron. Probably left it at my favorite spot too, huh Marty.
Danny
He was way past your spot Danny! :)
Oh unclewhit, that is independent front suspension!
Aside from the problem with leaving a discarded wagon behind, I think the dude was rather clever in his approach. I actually have the same wagon in my garage. It was a present to my 13 year old when she was 1. I use it to haul yard trash etc now. It can handle a pretty heavy load since I used it to haul 1 girl scout leader, my wife, 2 miles in a Christmas parade several years ago.
Probably shouldn't have used heavy load and wife in the same post. :knothead:
