Love that old picture.  Tough old dudes.  That's why life expectancy in those days was only about 40 years old.  Those guys are in their teens... :chuckle:

The backpack works fine on a small buck or a short ways on a big buck.  Tried it a couple years ago on a 4pt blacktail and only went 100 yrds before stopping to bone it out.  At 30 yea, at age 53 it isn't worth it - they might be packing you out.

I wonder if he is telling the guy with the doe "Dude, steers ain't in season."

 :dunno:  looks like a cow to me

Never mind how he's carrying that doe.  Look at the buck. :yike:  At can't see his right side antler but his left side sure is nice.

What do you think the guy by the fire is telling the guy with the doe?

you can make a backpack out of him to works great..but make sure ya got plenty of orange...awesome pic

Done that to a couple fork horns and a few spike BT.... Dad did it with a big 2 point Muley up the side of Stroughbacke Mt. One time.... I heard the shot... By the time I got there he was at the top of the ridge and I was driving the Cruiser up the road..... I said I'll take it from here....  :chuckle: The back pack works good.... Kinda neat to....

I've carried out quite a few like BTKR is doing, never made a backpack outta them, just got'em up on my shoulders and walked'em out.  Not sure the one sided thing would be too great on the back.  Although the doe in the original picture is no monster.  The buck on the ground on the other hand is a dandy.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

I wonder if those guys are sleeping on self-inflatable air mattresses, or do you think they are using the old poly pads...? :chuckle:
