Got a deer.....how do you get the thing out?

[Tbar]

Knock on wood I've never had a tick stuck to me.  They are a little creepy though.  I've packed about 20 deer out like that (don't do it in September).

I've packed them out on a cart, drug them, and boned them out and carried in a pack.  The terrain usually dictates what you need to do.  Boning them out makes the job easier and is a step you'll eventually need to do anyway unless you intend to take it to a butcher.  Don't drag if you plan on taxidermy as it can be brutal on your cape.  I packed my MT buck out from over 7 miles back this year.  A lot of work but worth it!  It definitely raise my standards the farther back I get though:-)

I de bone on the spot. Pack it all out in one trip. Done this a few times. Once 3.5 crow miles deep

Turn it into a backpack and carry it out.

Backpack Buck

This is one of the neatest tricks I've seen in a long time!

For the record, I used a wheel barrow to get my buck out. Actually, I put the deer in a wheel barrow so that my son could push it out of the woods.

That's how we got my dad's out this year. looks kinda funny but beats dragging it for miles

I might quarter it take the head and two front quarters with me in one trip
of cource make sure tag is hooked to aimal in some way.

or flashlight time.

If you're going to carry it out whole, wear some orange or at least wrap the antlers. You don't want some lazy, cheap *censored* scoping you with his rifle.

Four of us packed my moose out mile and half behind gate. Figure we each packed a deer. I could have easily shot a moose off road. The pack is part of the hunt for us.
If you don't like packing, stick to the road hunting!

First thing in the morning go to Sportsman's warehouse and buy one of their butt out tools, you got to have one of those to take care of your first deer.  Carefully read directions on how to use properly.  Be careful not to get poop on your finger or wear gloves.     Then cut it's throat to make sure it bleeds out all the way.  Gut it and then find two poles and tie them together and make a travois like the indians used too, and drag it out.  Make sure to tie it to the hood of your truck so you can drive through town and show it off on your way home.  Make sure you put your tag on the animal before taking any pictures and have your hunter orange on also or people on this website will turn you in as a poacher and get 10 points. 

Congrats on your first deer, hope it works out.

Read Steef's posts.  He seems like a nice guy and he is in desperate need of a mentor who lives in his area (Battleground).  It's not for a lack of trying.  Need someone to step up to the plate.

Steef, until you find a mentor please glue yourself to this site and watch YouTube videos for valuable insight into hunting situations you are likely to encounter so this sort of thing doesn't happen again.  I'm guessing you'll be working tomorrow and that deer will end op going to waste.

Hopefully this guy shot a deer and not an elk. I ran into a guy down south and he told me he had shot a big deer and asked if I would help him get it out. Sure, no problem. Until we get to his deer and it was an elk👎 .  Had to tell hinge was on his own.

All of youdo it the hard way...i just go get my helicopter and lift him out  all kidding aside if its a cut with road access we drag them out with crab line or we just each grab an antler and one grab the rear legs and huff n puff our way out
