While I have not built one, =CE just spoke with my hunter friend
and they haul out large elk.  The wooden planks have large wheels.

You might want to look at hunter web pages!

Seems a board with extended handles for leverage and a simple
u mount with wheels and one axel would work well?  Just look
at all those medival movies or people from the third world,
they use them all the time.
