Not being critical IF it works for them it’s no skin off my nose. That idea doesn’t attract me. I got a 3 wheeler in 1981 for hauling in Miss. Nat’l Forest Never needed to drag or carry a deer more than 1/4. The game pole between 2 guys works well.

Some states don’t allow for 1/4’ing it and require it out whole or with head attached. Camp is where you make it.

Usually results in a mess. Would be interesting to see the side cut work. The deer backpack is definitely a rite of passage for young men up here. Shoot em and pack them yourself.

It's incredible how something that doesn't weigh that much in the grand scheme of things can feel so heavy when it's all dead weight.

If we get a serious snow and am still hunting I have 1 of those 6' black toboggan sleds they slide damn easy in the snow.
