An old timer showed me once how and I will never forget it. He took a piece of rope about eight feet long and tied one front ankle and brought it up to the deers ear. He then wrapped the rope around the deers neck. he brought the other ankle up to the deers ear and wrapped a little more rope around the deers neck. Making sure to leave enough rope to make a loop that will go over your shoulders. Bringing up the deers head about waist high. Then just walk it out. In this way you are only dragging half of the deer as the other half is off the ground. I have used this method more then once and it works great for me.
