I've shot two deer that died on the edge of a farm road. Certainly made it easy. Drive up, throw it in truck.
My worst drag I should have quartered it. It took me nearly four hours to get it out. I could have quartered it and packed it out in that amount of time. That was due to the nasty tangle of brush that I was in though more so than distance. I learned to be more picky about where I shoot deer on that one. It would be worth it on a big buck, but there's easier places to meat hunt.
Most places I hunt are around a half hour drag out though. Which isn't bad.
