Draggin out is near impossible where we hunt, unless straight downhill. If you have to sidehill, no way....too many windblown deadwood....

 "he was talking about dragging deer down from a 7000ft ridge.."

 Didn't say that at all, the guy died on one of the ridges we hunted, which was 7,000 feet. The Montana deer we harvested were small bodied. I dragged/ carried my 165lb buck 1/5 mile in perhaps 6-7 minutes, with cold hands in that weather to cut and make two 1/5 mile trips makes no sense, taking around 15-20 minutes. I think we're getting side tracked anyways, my point was in agreement with yours, the cold and the altitude can kill in Montana. How best to haul a deer was not my point at all. If you read through other post's I did bone out a large deer in Washington this year, I do it if it makes sense to do so given the situation.

Don't fret Mountain...D-man is prone to exaggeration anyway.  You have to cut everything he says in half.  165 pound deer = 80 pounds, 7000 foot elevation=3500 feet.  15 below is actually 15 above.   :chuckle:

Just wanted to make sure you knew I hadn't forgotten you D-man. :)
