The right recovery aid

Gunfinder Magazine

The shot was applied cleanly, the piece lies and was already broken open and supplied - Waidmannsheil!

However, the situation is not always given that it is possible to drive up to the piece with the car or hunting vehicle in order to be able to load it and transport it away. Often, the piece must be transported to the car by the own muscle power. Since especially stronger pieces of wild boar, but also red and fallow deer can be quite unwieldy, so-called recovery aids facilitate the process immensely.

Recovery aids are available in a wide variety of designs. There are both one-handed recovery aids, which usually consist of steel or wire slings with handle or hooks with handle, as well as systems based on straps to tie around, as well as game tub sleds or foldable game tubs in which the game can be pulled. All these systems work and they have one thing in common: the muscle power already mentioned above that is needed to use them.

There is also the possibility of using cable winches. In the meantime, mobile winches that can be installed in or on a car are also available at quite affordable prices. With their help, even large pieces can be recovered effortlessly and heavy loads are no longer a big problem.

Before you decide on a system, you should have personally taken a look at the respective system and also checked how well you can cope with it yourself. In the case of one-handed recovery aids, which are usually very light and also not very large and therefore easy to store and transport, it is important to ensure that the handle is of a manageable size and can be easily grasped.

In general, it should be considered in advance for which game species the recovery aid will primarily be used and, accordingly, how large the pieces to be recovered are on average and to what extent the nature of the hunting ground in which it will be used will affect the system.

Game weighing more than 30 kg is quite difficult to carry even for strong hunters, therefore a recovery aid should be part of the basic equipment of all hunters.
