That's good on private land with permission or public land where allowed, but it's often not allowed or even practical where I hunt. ATVs are handy, but a game cart is cheaper, easier to load in the truck, and easier on the terrain than most ATVers.
And yes, I saw your emoticon, so I know you're partly funnin' me. 
Interestingly, there was a fella with a Game Tote hauler on the oryx hunt I went on over the weekend. Though I didn't get to see it in action, I inspected in his truck and heard some about its use. It seems like a promising, if somewhat expensive, option for game retrieval.
