Pack out fairly easy. 1.5 miles to another camp at the gate and they gave us a ride to our pick up.  I took both front quarters in my pack hunting partners took my stuff and the back strap and tenderloins. Then made one more trip, boned out the rear quarters. I took one and my hunting partners split the other. Steep ground but for some reason I love the pack out. I have packed deer and for some reason I love packing with weight.

Thanks for all the comments. I still can believe it.

What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job."
