Default ATV Tub Trailer Big Game Loading Ramp

When I shot my bull moose back in October, we did the 'flip the tub trailer on it's side' loading deal.

Well that might work okay if your trailer had really stiff tires or inner tubes, but mine don't have tubes and they're just a soft ATV tire. So of course we popped the beads off both tires on the bottom side.
So we had a 1,000 lb bull moose in the trailer with the trailer leaning way over to that side.
And on the rough trail we were on, the damn trailer flipped like 3 times, so in all we had to load the moose 4 times.

What a ****show!

So I came up with this idea for loading big game (or other stuff) into the tub trailer.
One thing that might be a problem; winching through the roller fairlead limits how far I can pull the winch line.
I do have a simple boat trailer roller I could use instead, I guess I'll have to see how this works?
The fairlead does ensure the winch line pulls straight though.

Feedback always appreciated! If you've got ideas on a better way I'm open, let's hear 'em!
