I use a pretty thick, but super tough plastic sleeve. Used to use those cheap blue plastic " tarps" , but they just got holes in them everywhere.

This plastic sleeve comes in various diameters. It is used to jacket underground water mains. Keep your eyes out for crews doing mains and ask them nicely (or bribe them with a some $$$ or a case of beer-I would think the beer would do the trick right about quiting time).

Work the rear legs of the dressed deer into the sleeve, poke two holes for the rear legs and pop the legs thru. Tie your drag rope thru the tendons and go.

OR

Do the front legs thru the holes, tie them up around the neck and drag from neck.

We got more than a few pieces stashed here and there around our hunting grounds.
