I'll add one more thing. Adreniline can do wonders for easing the drag. At 14 years old and 125# I drug out my first buck, uphill thru thick and rocky terrain like i was walking down the street. I still can't believe I drug that thing out of where I did with no help, or fatigue. Nowadays, I shoot a 100# doe with fairly easy terrain to manuever and she feels like a 220 pounder.
