Shoot last year I shot and average sized buck and didn't think I was ever going to get the thing loaded into the back of my suv. Awkward sized loads of limp dead weight of 170 lbs + or - is much heavier than it was 20 years ago and I don't recall it being all that easy back then. For two it's easy but for one it can be a booger. Actually that's why I have never been too interested in elk hunting. Too much work if you happen to get one.
