I realized just how out of shape I was this year dragging a deer only a 1/4mile just to where I could get it to the truck.....I really should start field dressing for when I have to actually drag one rather than drive to, or take the 4wheeler to it lol.
You guys out west have my respect, though I do believe a load on the back would be much easier than dragging through waist high weeds and across a knee deep creek with steep banks.
