The biggest game I hunt is deer. Anyhow, where I hunt I am usually no more than 20 minutes from the vehicle. I believe the further I dragged one out of that area was about 500 or 600 yards, that being said they are usually closer than that. Then I take my 5 minute walk to the vehicle & go back & pick up the carcass.
I curl the carcass up into a half ball before I drag them out. That way the head & legs don't get hung up as much on bushes, logs extra.
I could de-bone it but I am usually never that far in the bush to warrant that.
Oh, & I keep going with the exercise. I'm no younger either so being in my upper 50's I try to keep in some kind of shape, & I try to find easier terrain to hunt on.
