Same here. 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

Never needed to drag or carry a deer more than
1/4. The game pole between 2 guys works well.

Here is the backpack for anyone interested.

It’s great for those tweener spots. Too far to be motivated to drag but too close to want to take the time to quarter.

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

The deer backpack is definitely a rite of passage for young men up here. Shoot em and pack them yourself.

Blast from the past.

That, and the swinging of the deer, make it a PITA.

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.

Oh hell no. Tried that once with a pretty big deer. After the season we bought a game cart.

From antelope season in late september to the end of the deer season the game cart is in the truck. 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. Mb

We used a sled this year second weekend and it was great in the fresh snow. The cart is in the background, unused and covered in snow.

Hah! That reminds me of my dad and a buddy carrying a deer on a game pole between them. Dummies used a spud bar for the game pole.

I bet that hurt the next morning

Do you have a list of these states? I'm genuinely interested.

I can do the pole RATHER than drag for distance.
Haven’t killed a 50 # in years.

Yet - I have a 4 Wheeler.
