I noticed on the Predator forum there was mention of someone with bursting ab muscles towing a coyote or two for a long distance. I know Steve Allen likes to pull his toy tobaggen(sp) along to use as transportation for coyotes. I have settled on drag ropes. Here are some photos illustrating the way two different kinds of drag ropes look.
And finally, two photos to show you how they are used.
Simple drag rope setup, but the narrow bearing surface can make your hand get tired/sore real quick.
Addition of a piece of broken hoe handle gives you more load bearing surface and keeps your hand from getting tired/sore. Just drill a hole through the wood from end-to-end and string the rope through.
In this photo you can see how the loop is placed around the lower canines and the front feet are placed in the same loop. This keeps the head up off the ground and makes the coyote easier to drag through snow, grass, etc.
One hunter takes the front rope and the other takes the sweet end. Kind of like an African safari without the long pole over the shoulders of the load bearers.
