Cool pic. I've never thought to take a picture during the drag out, I'm usually pretty busy.   :chuckle:

I don't have any pics of my last deer dragging adventure, but it was certainly no picnic....dead deer deep in a ravine with a burned out forest between me and the truck.  Anyways, I was dragging this thing up this hill, obviously struggling, moving about a foot or two with every tug of the antlers.  I look up, and there is this other hunter watching me...he was actually watching me field dress the deer, and then watched me bust my a&# trying to get it out of the woods.  Not once did he ever offer to give me a hand (even just to get it up the hill).  When I get about 3/4 of the way up the hill, he walks off....
Now, I am not sure what the "official" procedure should be, but I do know if the roles were reversed I would have offered to lend a hand.

I don’t have any pics either, but years back we hunted the naneum fevers year and had finally patterned the other hunters that were always there in the same spots.
There was this one group that always did a “drive” up a pretty gnarly draw.
5 guys pushing p, two shooters on top.
We, 3 of us, found places to sit in the middle and got 2 medium sized 4pts.
On the way out dragging the first one, partner still back dressing his, the pushers showed up and helped us get us carry #1 to the truck.
As soon as we got there, heard a rifle shot, a minute later another.
My partner radioed me and said the 2 shooters had each fired.
Went back in the woods to retreive #2 and found out they both got BIG bucks.
Karma I guess?
With 10 of us there it was pretty easy work to haul out the last 3.
Gave those guys and there deer a ride back to their camp, saving someone a couple mile hike, and they fed us along with some beer and whiskey, and we’ve been friends ever since. Don’t hunt there much anymore, but if I’m in the area I’ll always stop in to say hi or if they call I’ll be there to help.
One shot. One kill!

Idaho last year, I'm on the top end of the rope.  This was the "easiest" way up.  The pic doesn't even do justice on the steepness of this 600 yard climb.
