I just get in touch with a relative (all farmers). We load the deer into the bucket on the tractor! and then drop it in the bed of the pickup.

To hell with all that dragging crap, we're all too old and lazy for that stuff. We seldom have to drag a deer any further than 100 yards, just to where we can get the tractor to it.

Of course, we're hunting farm ground, and most of it is fairly open country (north/central Missouri).

There are also a couple ATVs, and even a horse-drawn cart, if it's back in the brush. We try to keep the fun in deer huntin', if it's work, we might as well go to work and get paid for it.


You can roll a turd in peanuts, dip it in chocolate, and it still ain't no damn Baby Ruth.
