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.
