RE: Am I the only one left......
 

Buckeye and the rest of you "tough" midwest draggers, do you even have forests up there?;) Let's be honest, you're not exactly dragging a deer a mile through the woods.... A few hundred yards is more likely..........I can do that before breakfast and still hammer out 50 push ups [8D]:D

RE: Am I the only one left......
 

I am with ya! I drag all my deer by hand.

RE: Am I the only one left......
 

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.

I don't mind the drag but it isn't one of my favorite part. The only drag that ever got me was when my bro' killed a ten that field dressed 185 lbs. and we had to drag it about 1 1/2 miles through the brush and 2-3 steep creek crossings. He puked 2 times before we made it to the truck.

I don't like draggin but I am always ready and willing to do it. HOWEVER, if I can get an ATV or a truck to it I will. If not I will get it as clase as possible. I just know too many people that have gooten back injuries over the years dragging.

Buckeye,
I know what you are talking about. I used to get a lot of satisfaction from dragging my deer home as well. The problem is, age will likely take that satisfaction away some day so enjoy it while you can. I play it safe now and use the ATV.

FYI over in Germany it's disrespectful to the animal to drag it out of the woods. All must be carried. On the other hand I don't care what they think.

double creek i live in ohio. and buckeye does too. and trust me we got hills creek bottoms and ravines and woods.

RE: Am I the only one left......
 

Drag!?

Pfft, if he's under 250lbs I hoist him up on my shoulder and carry him out. What kind of pansy are we growing these day's buckeye? [:-]

RE: Am I the only one left......
 

I used to drag them out in my younger days, I didn't think it was a big deal. But the older you get, you tend to take things a little easier. I used my tractor at home but you can bet I have my game cart in the truck if I hunt away from home.
