Where we hunt any kind cart would never work . Just to steep and rough for one . If we have a road below us we will drag downhill if its not to far otherwise we endup carring it out on a packboard or whole depending on the size of the deer. Usually the fun stops right after the deer goes down If your dragging definitly drag from the front of the deer . Not opening the rib cage will help to keep it clean ,just cut the diaphragm and remove the heart ,lungs and drain the deer .
