Did you see this?
From the May2012 issue:



And I'm thinking, "Why not just put the tailgate down?"

From the July2012 issue:


I couldn't help but laugh: "Deluxe model"!

I figured that out when trying to load a big hog by myself on a hunt about 25 years ago. When I got to camp every one asked how I loaded the hog by myself. I just looked at one arm and then the other and said, with these guns right here. They all laughed at me but they never figured it out.

[sneaky freak]

It's amazing the size of animals you can move by yourself when the adrenalin is flowin and you are pumped!

I had no idea people ever tried to load animals over the gate. I did see that issue and kind of laughed to myself. Missed the letter to the editor.

Did this as well when I was 15. 200-225lb hog into a pikp with a 3" lift and non opening tailgate (like the pic, lol).
Only dad knew how I did it and he kept my secret, the others called me He-Man up until we left the lease 6 years later, lol.

Sadly enough, there are folks who have the occasional non-opening model and then unhook and drive away from a gooseneck trailer.

This reminds me of the "butt-out tool" they sell...

[rebelmdb69]

Dealers love him. "And for an extra thousand we will throw in a fully functioning tailgate!"

Funny stuff...Deluxe model,Ha!

[Cable]

Haha! That is a good one.

That's why it's illegal to ride in the back of a pickup. With an inoperable tailgate, the passengers might drown if it ran off the road into a pond or lake and they couldn't get it open.
