Best Coyote Drag?

I’ve been using Tony Tebbe Hands-Free coyote drags for a few years and they work great with the built-in suspension/elastic in the sling. It makes a big difference when dragging coyotes up hill a long way. I recently purchased some similar slings and paracord and made my own for under $10 each. These types of drags are small enough I keep one in the front zipper pocket of my chest pack.

I haven’t gone hands free. 1/2 hardwood dowel. Drill hole. Double paracord through hole. Loops on both ends of double paracord. Drags up to 4 which hasn’t happened yet, and 3 was more than I wanted to pull! Lol.

When/If I consistently start pulling more than doubles, I’ll go hands free.
 
I too make my own with plastic conduit and cord that is a little heavier than para cord. I leave mine long enough so the coyote will clear my skis or snowshoe tails and be able to wrap around my waist to keep my hands free.

Just make half-hitches along the cord for multiples.

I like to put a loop on the end and loop around the upper jaw and a half-hitches around the lower so your dragging them nose first. They slide though brush much easier and don't get hung up.

I did a picture tutorial on them a few pages back. Search Coyote Drags.

I am too frugal to pay for a drag. I make my own. The one on the left is made from a 1"dowel, 550 reflective paracord, and counterbored for the knot. It is 42" long. I wrap the cord around the handle and the loop is the right size to slip over the end of the dowel so it stays rolled up until I need it.
The one on the right is made from Pex and 550 paracord. One hole through one side of the Pex the same size as the paracord and the knot is on the inside. The loop goes down in the Pex for storage. I make these and give them away to guys who don't have a drag.

Made my own...
Gave one to each of my coyote hunting friends.
Short double loop strap with chain quick link and fixture support cables. Generally have 2 cables on but have 2 more cables in pack if I shoot Triples or quads.
Cables work perfectly.

I have a sling for my foxpro that doubles as a drag. Believe it was made by Reese Outdoors years ago.
Otherwise i use a piece of dowel with a hole drilled in it and a piece of cord/rope.
 
Yeah I make a bunch of hunting accessories using paracord. Have a sling made up but am wanting to do a wire cable for the drag part and was curious on diameter or wire rope. Like 1/16th or 1/8th or something in between. Wpuld have it dog leash clip to a D loop opposite sode of the call remote

i made this one out of some paracord and PVC pipe as a teenager, but it’s awesome having both the wrist strap AND the bar because if you space things out right, you can squeeze your fingers tighter to take the pressure off the wrist loop if your hand gets uncomfortable, if your fingers get tired you can relax them and let your wrist take the load, or you can balance that load between your fingers and your wrist at the same time which I typically do for maximum comfort.

I always hunted pretty close to the jeep, so just carried several 2' long pieces of para chord w/hard loops in each end. Slipped a soft loop through the hard loop and over rear hock on both hind legs. Hang them on a pulley on the jeep chair (used to run winch cable around seat when using rear boom).

Reminds me of the old joke. An experienced deer hunter came across 2 Aggies dragging a deer by the hind legs. He very diplomatically advised them that the buck would be much easier to drag if they would drag him from antlers and front legs it would be much easier to pull. One Aggie indignantly replied, "I know that, but the truck is in that direction!", pointing in the direction they were headed.

I use to hand drag them many moons ago. Then I started using a 10' 3/8 braided nylon rope. A slip knot around the coyote's neck. And a Bow-line
knot around my chest/shoulder. The rope is cheap & my arm/hand are free.
