I have the Cabela's deer cart, magnum I think. Anyway, after getting a buck last year, the "drag" was the easist that I have ever experienced using the cart. I placed the deer head up (toward me) and strapped it down. I keep a couple nylon straps on the cart year around so I don't have to think about it.

I can see that it might be possible that the antlers could hit you if the cart got a way from you. But I wanted the heaviest portion of the deer over the wheels. I strap the head so that it does not flop around and use the bars on the cart to support it. Fluorescent orange (FO) cloth over the deer, might not be a bad idea but I would keep wearing my orange when bringing the deer out. Maybe just have one of those cheap FO vests stuffed in the back of your coat. I honestly don't worry about it.

I keep my cart in my truck. Yes, it is possible someone could steal it. If someone needs it, that's fine with me as long as they return it promptly and leave a note saying what they did.
