Thanks. He dressed 181#.
My back is shot, smoked an elbow tendon.
Was not looking fwd to the drag.

Buddy popped an 8 pointer, his died out in the field.
His Jeep still nice.

Mine's a POS, so I went to the sticker bush area, lots of saplings, and drove in, snaked around bigger trees and tied mine to the hitch (w head up).
Slowly drove him to the road, where we put him on my bud's hitch haul.

Worked great. Glad the ground was cold enough.
