I was one lucky old man with drags this year. Took a doe with the crossbow, pass through. She ran about 20 yards and dropped right in the middle of the forest road going up to the cabin. Had to drag her a few feet to get her off the track so I didn't run over her with the truck. A few days later, on Veterans Day, the same crossbow, another pass through, this time on a 10 pt. Not a huge rack, but a big, strong buck (chest measurement indicated 228 # live weight). He ran over 100 yards from that creek bottom where I hit him, up a steep hill. Had to drag him about 20 yards back down the hill to another part of the forest road. I told my wife a few years ago that it won't be long before we need a 4 wheeler. Just not this year!

Congrats on the easy drags! And nice tracking on the buck!

Thanks, young gun. Not much tracking involved, I could see him for about a third of the trip and then I heard him crash when he went down.

Unless you've done the long tough drags, you don't appreciate and relish the easy ones. Congrats on both deer.

that's funny.. i'd suggest you go ahead and get that 4-wheeler lol

An easy drag is always nice!

Of my 2 deer this year one was a tough solo drag and the other was a wheeler job.
