RE: Who drags deer out of the woods?
Instead of arguing whether a man can do a deer in a set time why don't we look at the point and hunting tip I was trying to pass on. I think that everyone will agree that a deer can be processed in the woods much quicker and easier than dragging a deer a half mile or more over tough terrain.Why drag hooves, heads, hide, and bones out of the woods only to have to drag them back into the woods or illegally dump the carcass in the middle of the night in some ditch or wherever so that some anti-hunter can see this and bring it to the public eye.Processing a deer in the woods is no different than processing one at home. I use a headlamp if it is dark. My method requires no labor of up and down ravines or having to go ask for help. Sure, if it dies close to a field edge or if you like running ATV's through the woods than these are other options. If you can't get a tractor, pickup, or ATV and you don't feel like bothering your friends; than why not do it there instead of dragging a deer 1/2 mile. This method became popular with me with our states' liberal doe tags in recent years. I don't feel the need to drag a doe a half a mile of tough terrain just to stand around and look at it with my buddies in my garageand drink beer.Call me crazyI guess.People don't elk hunt with that same type of thinking.
