You pups that drag your deer will out grow that habit. Trust me.

Has anyone here ever tried to drag a deer through sagebrush? Holy crap its hard. 20 ft is a chore. I like to make a back pack out of the deer by making slices in the gam cords, I then put the front legs through the slices and tie them off. The deer can easily be hoisted on your back and off you go. I would not recommend this method in heavily hunted areas. I do it out here in light pressure areas, but still put orange on the deer. If it is a long way to the truck I will bone out the animal and put it into my old military duffle bag that has the back pack straps on it. It rolls up small and can be stored in the bottom of a day pack. When the deer is boned out and in the bag, put the daypack and extra clothing in the bag with it and off you go. I love the feeling of a full pack.

DavidPaul007, if Ohio deer were the same size as they are in Florida I would just stick my thumb in it's butt and carry it like a sixpack of beer. LOL

No dragging here. I weigh 135#'s soaking wet and I AIN'T dragging nothing.

The hike doesn't bother me and I am far from lazy but physical limitations get the best of me.


I use a 4-wheeler when allowed or a deer hauler(that I made) when the 4-wheeler can't be used.

I like the drag! Its a pretty good feeling, hopefully I always be able. If not I'll get the boy to do it.

OH MY GOD!! that has to be the funniest thing I have heard all week!!

soo much bravado around here[:-]I was allways taught do things smarter not harder.I have drug many deer,but some of the places I hunt, I get help or use the cart.If any of you ever played football a drove blocking dummies and sleds around(offensive lineman)you know what kind of power your legs can generate, yet on a side note keep doing it and you'll have some messed up knees and ankles in no time.What you do to your body when young I gaurantee will catch up with ya.I wish I would have bought stock in Ibuprofin or motrin years agoArthritis is a bitch.

I tried this too but they kept wandering out on to the road and ending up as hamburger.

Attitudes change when having to drag a 200lb deer a mile through a jungle of new growth alone!

Having buddies around to help with the drag does make it special.

I agree 100%. Like I said I wouldn't want it any other way.
