Default RE: Need Info!: Packing out a deer?

One thing that has really helped me over the years is the following. I haveat timeshad to drag a big deer out of some thick bush (sometimes a mile or so). I picked up a kid's plastic snow sled which I have put some holes in the sides so I can attach bungie cords. After gutting the deer I put the deer on the sled (head to the back and bungie it down good and tight. I have a shoulder harness which is attached to the front of the sled (short rope) and I drag it out. You don't need snow to make it work and I have found that dragging it is easier than carrying. You haven't listed a location where you are hunting so I don't know if you can pick up such a sled in your area (you may be down south), but if you can it may help.
