That is kind of what I figured because other wise some of the drags you people have out there.. would take me all season to get the deer out. I mean some of you are miles and miles back in the wild.

We don't have distance so much as a drag problem where I live, we have the tangle. If they run into the marshes, imagine dragging a large deer through the thickest tangle of brush you can find. I once actually contemplated walking away from a deer I had shot, unless I could find help. But being me, I kept at it for hours and hours.

I was out on a track trail following a deer and ended up shooting it back in the thick. The GPS showed me which way to head out, and it was not good. I was only in 1/2 mile or so. But it was a 1/2 mile of thickets. Part of the way out, I was down to shirt and pants, sweating like a dog, a headache, and winded. I finally got that deer to the base of my woods where I could get my ATV to it. I was never so glad to see high ground.
