Yea, I guess you are right on that one. Them 10 points are a tough drag, and you could hurt your spine if'n you're not careful. I recommend a nice two-wheeled cart. That's what we use. Not to mention that you don't want to damage the hair, for mounting purposes.
Yeah right! If everyone was knocking over 10 pointers as frequently as you are suggesting, PA would be leased up so fast by outfitters and clubs that hardly anyone would have a place to hunt without coughing up big dollars! You would have trophy hunters flocking to PA from all over the country. I however have not seen or read anything about PA becoming the new trophy whitetail hunting mecca of the northeast. And it probably never will whether you have AR's or not because the genetics are just not there.
