In over a year since I have owned my machine, I never really had a practical use of the thing, other than to annoy my wife, till last Sunday. Sat nite I put an arrow thru a four pointer which decided it wasn't a good plan to stick around. I lost the trail in the dark but went in at first light, picked up the trail and found him about 120 yards in an old overgrown(grape vines, willows, small overbrush dead appletrees thorn trees etc) apple orchard. Being the resourceful lad I am, I decided to see how tough these Argos are. Small trees are no match for this thing. Thru the creek, down the creek, I got to within a couple of yards of the Buck. I had a small clearing of about 10x10, did a 180, hooked the deer to the back and dragged him out to the truck.(Couldn't lift him In the back). Took 30 minutes to go home for the Argo, go in for the deer, drag him to the trailer,load everything up and get back home.It would have been half an hour and a couple of heart attacks just to get him to the trail dragging him by myself.(I'm not young any more....not old ,just not young anymore).Now only if my wife was interested I know where I can get a deal on another one......

It is definitely nice when they make your life easier. Plus it helps you justify the purchase. Congratulations on the deer.
