I used to use a fancy stand with crank that I would hook onto the hitch of my truck. It was heavy and took up a lot of space in the truck but overall it worked but ended up ditching it.
Last year I built a small wooden ramp and installed a pulley with a rope to pull a deer up by myself. Not great, too much friction with the wood ramp but still worked.
Earlier this year, I forgot to load my ramp before going hunting, I shot a big mule deer and had nothing to load the deer in. So I thought, I had just gotten back from a hunting trip in Wyoming and still had a plastic folding 6ft table. I opened the table, extended the legs on one side only and used it as a ramp. That was the easiest way I had ever loaded a deer in a truck, with or without help. I will ditch my wooden ramp, sell my metal stand and keep a folding 6ft table from now on. Not only can I use it as a ramp but I can also use it as, you have guessed, a table.
