3 or 4 years ago I shot a buck down in the bottom of a steep little coulee. Dad dropped a loop around it's neck and proceeded to drag it out. Worked great until he hit the steep part of the pull, cinch was a little loose and the horse almost pulled the saddle right off!

Saddle was resting on the ass end of the brown horse by the time he whoa'd up. Brother and I were trying not to laugh.....(grin)


Packed another one out 2 years ago that was about 4 miles from the truck. Had another minor rodeo...
Bone 'em and backpack is way easier.....(grin)
