A cart for transporting game, such as a large animal carcass, across rough and obstructed terrain is provided. The cart includes a frame forming a cart basket and a rear wheel and a front wheel (or other ground contacting structures, such as skids) that are aligned along the axis of the cart to provide for easy maneuverability. The frame of the cart is wedge shaped, to facilitate moving the cart through tall grass, brush, branches, etc. A low center of gravity design provides for greater operator control.
