I have always taken a certain bit of satisfaction from dragging a deer..........it's all part of the hunt. Sure it's hard work but that's OK with me. I have dragged deer up hills so steep it was more of a hoist then a drag.............and so long that they had no hair left on their back at the end. It's all part of the hunt.

I have also put them on ATV's and been close to roads etc.........I wasn't angry on those occasions either, that's for sure. Dragging is just not something I see as a chore.........just like butchering or field dressing. If I am doing any of those three things you can bet there will be a smile on my face.

There is just something appealing to knowing I didn't need help to take my deer from field to freezer to table.
