The older I get the less I want to drag a deer. A little doe isn't too bad, but on a deer of any size, I would say 200yds is about the max.
I just skin it up one side.. get the two quarters, backstrap and loin and any easy rib meat, Flip it over and do the same on the other side. Took me an hour first time I tried, now its about half that. Its very rare to see eastern deer hunters quarter and carry, but these days a half mile drag will about kill me.
On an average deer I can carry the whole deal and head out in one trip.. a real toad I might have to do two.
