I figure if I was able to get in and find the spot, I can figure out a way to get the deer out. It may take a little longer than it used to,... but what the heck, I've been real late getting out of the woods before with a deer. I think my latest was 12:30AM. Last year was a prime example. I got out at 10 PM with my buck. I was beat but happy. As a last resort I can quarter and bring it out, go for help or use the old faithful Deer Sleigh from Cablelas. It really is slick in a pinch.
