How do you figure I'm leaving the trophy behind? If I want to mount it I can always cape it in the field and just bring out the antlers and cape. That's all the taxidermist needs. They don't need the whole head. Take a few pics of it before skinning, maybe a few measurements like eye to nose distance and neck circumference and the taxidermist can do the rest.

Besides, these days I'm interested in the meat. Antlers no longer hold any special place for me. I've got a rafter in the garage full of racks from deer, elk and pronghorn. And if you can't handle 60 lbs, then make the loads lighter. 60 lbs works for me, make your loads 30 lbs and make a few more trips. Bottom line, if you can walk in and hunt alone, you can get the game out alone. You simply adapt and overcome. Never quit!
