RE: Getting the deer out of the woods??
I have a Deer-sleigher (what PodTine referenced). I' ve had it for several years now and it works great. On snow it' s a no-brainer as to how easy they drag. But on dry ground it really works good too. The one I have is pretty scared up from dragging numerous deer. One that comes to mind was a 210# (dressed) bruiser that my buddies and I dragged out " BEFORE" we field dressed it. (A good spot and wanted to hunt it more over the next few days) No snow and it was a good hike. It made that particular job much easier.
Many times I get back in an area by myself and I always keep it in the back of my truck.
