I have made those long hikes your talking about, not alot of fun but nobody hunts them so could be good hunting. Might want to keep that area for the rut. I usually hunt somewhere close in the AM then hunt the far off spot for the afternoon, walkin in the day time goes alot easier when you can look around and watch nature as you walk. Long walks in the dark with nothing but a pale pen light get old quick. I would suggest taking a buddy along on the days you hunt back there just in case somehting should happen or you get lucky he can help drag it out. 2 people with dragging harness will make the job alot easier, unless you have one of those fancy deer carts available. I hunt WMA's for turkey season and I try to walk as far as I can to get to some less pressured birds hoping others are not as dedicated as I am. If you waited till cold weather I guess you can bring some rope and clean the deer and pack it out if you are too far back for dragging. Good luck and be careful back there.
