WOW, thanks for all of the help guys, I really appreciate it. You guys gave me some good ideas. I was looking online and found something called a game bag, not sure if anyone has heard of them or used them? If so how do they work? do they leak or what? Thanks again for all of the response!

joemr1288, it's not as hard as you think. I have a 2000 Saturn SL2 (4 door) and can, and have, get two people, two climbers, two bows, two back packs, and at least one deer in that car.

The climbers slide down to the floor between the back seat and front seats, skinny side down on the floor board and cables up and over the rear seats.

Two bows and packs go in the back seats under the cables of the stands.

Two does or one good sized buck can fit in the trunk if you squeeze them in just right.

I had a 1997 cavalier 4 cyl. that I had a hitch on and pulled a 14ft jon boat around...thats what I would do If I were you, buy a small utility trailer and install a hitch.

I just quarter them up, throw them in my backpack and put it all in the trunk.
I can fit two peoples hunting gear and two deer in a Dodge Neon.

I believe the game bag is really made for like backcountry hunters who carry animals long distances...I believe their only real purpose is keeping flies, dirt and debris off the carcass so it doesn't get tainted by this stuff...I may be wrong but I was looking into them for this exact purpuse..before I just decided to put my deer in the trunk...and that's what I found.

I brought my first deer home in the trunk of my friend's mother's 1980-ish Tercel. We had some plastic, and also had large trash bags and duct tape. It was a bit of a pain, but it worked.

As others have said. I don't think you will have a problem putting an average sized deer into a trunk of a small car. Before rigor mortis sets in a deer can quite easily be manipulated to fit into most any vehicles trunk.

Good news 2011 will bring in automated check in and that means quarter and pack. I for one think it's long over due. Hunt other places that have it and it's great. No more draging over who knows what for who knows how far.

You can do it as soon as your standing over it or with in the next 24 hrs. It should some how included filling out a tag and distorting in some way for a permanent mark.

If Mi doesn't have it make some noise to get it.
