So I bought the safety vest and was watching the DVD that came with it. It shows a loop at the bottom of the back that you can connect a rope to to help drag deer out.
Anyone ever use it? It seems pretty slick, but too good to be true.

Good vest, I have the same one. Never used that feature, the deer I shot last winter got dragged by Jamie and hauled out by Jesse on the quad! No haulin at Sandridge!

Which one did you get Cotty?
I need to update my old one(s) which are really out-dated nylon straps from years ago.

Have one, used it once, it doesn't beat having a couple buddies helping, but it sure beats having to bend over and drag a deer by yourself. The tension release rope doubles as your deer drag, so it should always be in the pocket of your vest. Wrap that bad boy around the neck or the rack and take off.

Got one but never used the drag harness feature. I was afraid I could potentiall stretch the seams thus making my life saving vest less beneficial.
