how to get your buck out of remote areas
I shot a buck 2 miles deep so I did a video on how to get your buck out of remote public areas... People do all sorts of things like quarter them, or just drag by the antlers, but when your that far back in swamp you need a plan...

My plan is to always carry a pack frame and at lest 6 game bags. I bone them where they hit the ground. I see no reason to bring out bones, skin and the entire head just to dispose of them later. The edible meat of a mammal usually only amounts to 48% of the live weight. So an average buck of less than 200 lbs would bone down to about 80 lbs. I carry a folding saw so if I decide I want the antlers I can just cut off the top of the skull.
Looking at your vid, 'll stick with mine. Unless you had that sled with you when that deer dropped that means you made an extra trip out to get it. With my way 'm only making one trip and not two. But to each his own.

Ha! Well done! It still looks like a lot of work! When I kill a buck in a tough spot, I cut them in half...just cut them behind the last rib, pull the tail up to and break the backbone then cut it with my knife... A half a deer for one person is very manageable.. Takes a little more time, of course, but what's the hurry after the tag is filled? I'm not sure it's legal to do that in all states, but it is here.
One thing I advise people to do when they kill a buck is to take their time.. A deer isn't worth a heart attack. Get help...you can't have too many people when it comes to getting a deer out of the woods. Stop a lot...admire your buck....don't push it!!!
