I drug mine by the antlers this year. I have done so in the past. However, after the rut and into January I'd be thinking of other ways of dragging them. The problem with pulling them by the neck is if your going to mount it your pulling alot of the hair off. A friend of mine shot a nice buck this year that he hung by the neck for fear the antlers would come off. His taxi still has it but I wondered how that effects the hide.

If I have to drag it long distance I usualy try to pack a small plastic peice to put underneath to make it easier to pull. This keeps them clean and is much easier to pull. I know they sold some made for this but I always use a cheap roll up kids snow sled.

I don't have and ATV so thats how I do it. I bring the truck as close as I can so I drag as little as I can.
