I shot a nice bull this year and i grabbed the front quarter, foot still attached, and moved it to some snow. It was dang heavy, but doable for most guys (I am 185#s). We took off the leg at the knee and it easily fit in one game bag. I think if you wanted a little bigger load, you could put a backstrap each in with each of the front quarters. However, I dont think I would wanna trek that too far uphill. Deboned would be much, much better if you had much of a walk. I think deboned quarters (4 bags) and one more for the backstraps is fairly doable for most guys for most hauls. Most of it depends on the hauler's ability.


What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.
