RE: How do you drag your deer out?
It really depends. But if I feel that I'm in for a real tough drag, I keep a deer sled around. It works very well.
Yup, that's the one I use pictured above except mine uses rope instead of straps, and it has no bodybag.

I use my safety harness that I wear on my climber. The part that goes around the tree fits around the deers neck. I find this much easier than using a rope or pulling the deer by its feet/antlers.

good ole length of rope...tie the front legs upto the head and tie them as 1 and get a big ole stick and tie the other end of the rope to that...grab the stick and pull.
if you got a partner, get a bigger, longer stick and you can share the work.
buck thats getting mounted i will most likely tie to the antlers and use a short rope and try to keep the cape off the ground...
that is...when i cant drive the truck right to the deer. alot of times around home on the small woodlots it isnt too far till i can get the deer to a ATV trail or tractor path that i can get the truck into. i dont baby my truck...its already scratched and been rolled once
just gives it character...thats all

RE: How do you drag your deer out?
After two surgeries I drag them out in alot of pain. Can usually find help. I never take a drag line in either. It's always been a curse for me to be prepared to drag.
Boy-O-Boy even the little ones get heavy real fast.
