Yep, makes dragging deer/elk out easy, especially with no snow.

Use mine in the truck if I have to haul wood to the kids' campfires. Wash and dry walnuts in the fall.

Used mine as a canoe from time to time, helps when packing in extra gear.  Also use it in the back of my truck to keep gear organized.
I was born an Alaskan I just didn't live here at the time.

Haul duck decoys, floats well with several dozen in it.  Then use it as a layout blind.

sledding toboggan for kids, decoy/gear hauler for duck season, used it to pack out elk and deer more than a couple times, igloo block shaper, makeshift cot, and crayfish pool.

still have yet to use it in august, though.

I have used mine many times for various things also. But the downside is. Once you get all the big scratches & gouges in it. It builds up frozen/slushy snow on it when I use it for ice fishing. Its like trying to drag cinder blocks then. I ruined a couple of my sleds this way.

If you never used one for dragging deer try it that's what I bought mine for originally.
Even on dry ground easier to drag and keeps deer cleanier.
And if you transport your deer its great to slide into your vehicle(suv)contains the mess.
Also good to use when trapping u can fit several good beavers in them...JUS SAYIN

Great tool year round!  I have on "04" edition, used for all the above, retired for icing, has a cut in bottom.
Newer sled and xl, use for icing only. They will be next for all the other jobs. Then will buy some more.

Mine has one purpose: ice fishing.  It hangs like a shrine in my garage during the summer, getting a gentle fist bump occasionally to keep the mojo strong and the demons away!
