It would help to know the type of terrain, your hunting! Getting back five miles, riding shanks mare is a long distance! Lots of good ideas have been suggested! I assume you are backpacking in and camping! In that case boned and packed would be my choice! A cart would let you wheel in you camp! Just put your backpack on the cart! Hunt from camp! Then you have options! Mountains with timber, requires different gear than river bottoms and farm type land! Canyon country takes different equipment! But a backpack is the one that works everywhere!
