You will find they are easily drug out by one person and even easier to skin and cool


Yes, young bucks are lighter than deer, and I've packed them whole on a frame if someone can help me stand up. Trophy type bucks though can have some weight on them, as they're about 25% larger than the typical 2 or 3 year old.

If one plans on using the cape for a wall hanger, they are a pain in the ass to skin. I swear one can sneeze at a live animal, and it will drop half its hair. Try dragging one, and you'll get to the rig with a naked animal in just a hundred yards. Bringing a partner along, even if it's just a kid to hold legs etc, will greatly facilitate handling.

Good luck out there,
