When I was hunting Michigans UP I carried a 10'x10' sheet of plastic sheeting. it made a handy dry spot to set when taking a break, or a wind break if you wanted to hunt one spot for the day. I also always carryed some cheap nylon cord. Get the deer down field dress it spread out my plastic sheet place deer on it and wrap it up tie to the neck and legs with the cordage. Use my pruneing saw to cut a handle for my drag rope tie on to the natlers and go. Most of thre time there was snow so you had to watch going down hills the deer didn't run you over.
It still would drag easy on wet or dry leaves.
