Got a deer.....how do you get the thing out?
« on: November 16, 2014, 08:12:11 PM »
Found this nice little spot with several deer and finally shot my first one.....the problem is, the deer is about a mile or so hike in, with no car/truck access.  How do you guys get your deer from "where it lies" back up to the truck?

Get offline first. Then, go out and drag it out, bone it out, get a sled, get a cart, get some buddies....basically whatever you gotta do.

Whatever you do, avoid trying to hog tie it on a pole like you see in the movies. Worst way to carry ever. :chuckle:

You could quarter and pack out in a couple trips.  I have personally helped a buddy drag one out about a mile.  Strap on the antlers and a strap on the front legs and walk out side by side.  I would recommend quartering though. Congrats!

gut it. Carry or drag it.
Welcome to the part of the hunt that requires some extreme exertion. It may be a very late night for you. Good luck and congratulations on your first kill.

I usually take them out when i shoot them. Not shoot it then go home and ask on the internet how to get it out.

And most deer we shoot are way away from a vehicle. We bone them out, or we quarter them, or drag them out whole. All viable options for you.

Packing is way easier than dragging in my opinion.   It is cold enough tonight, that if you get the guts out it ill be just fine over night.  Gut it, quarter it and pack out what you can.  Hang what you can't in a tree and come back at first light for the last trip.

Pack it out on your back.  I've turned the last couple I have packed out into back packs.  IMO best method I have used.

Im crying from laughing so hard, the responses are priceless.  But on a serious note, find buddies to help, get a good packboard, hell ive even seen a guy tie the bucks legs together to make a backpack out of the entire deer.  Do whatever you gotta do, you owe it to the deer.

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. :chuckle:
