Here in Vermont all deer has to be presented field dressed and whole to a check station within 48 hours of harvest. Most buck deer are somewhere between 120 and 200 + pounds. Dragging is the most common way people get their deer out of the woods. Since getting older I now mostly hunt close to home and can usually get a wheeler to them which makes it easier. When I hunted out west for mule deer and elk we quartered and boned them and took them out on pack frames.
