In my opinion this Is where you man up, admit defeat and split the carcass personally like a lot of the world (US... in reality is a very large hunting majority)
A bike isn't a terrible choice, but that's assuming your backpacking meat out in manageable chunks.
if your trying to extract them whole for game dealers give up on the idea, lmo.

Keep away from ponies and horses.
Unless your a Vet. Farrier. Horse dentist or Bookie . £££££££ and feed on top
Stick with a good quad bike

Just been looking at a Surron electric motor bike. Pretty incredible performance (circa 70KM out of a 2.5 hour charge apparently), they only weigh about 50Kg so you can chuck it in the back of the car. I doubt it would be much good towing stuff but if you were out after roe, you could cover a huge amount of ground quietly and extract with a sack.
Just had a look at these. The torque is rated at 250nm. Hard to believe, it's more than alot of small cars.
They'd be a right good toy.

Ahh. A man after my own heart…… I come from the days when a ‘full stop’ got you 5 points !

It’s a fact that I’m more comfortable on a trials bike on rough ground than I am in a quad. Once off camber and it starts to tilt, my memory recalls all the farmers and others that have died in similar circumstances..
However, my stalking mate has a 1000cc petrol Polaris and that’s a different beast altogether. Off camber I feel protected by the cab, and it is the nearest thing to a trials bike on rough ground that I’ve been in (wheeled - not tracked).
Only issue is price !

Half the weight, a third the price, similar range to Sur Ron but half as quiet on the track, better visibility, nearly silent. And fun.
Realtree jacket may be extra though!

The ones I have been looking at are a straight electric motorbike
It was more to highlight your "you could cover a huge amount of ground quietly".

So many opportunities. Obviously you would have to extract deer in a basket on your head to avoid overbalancing

The bikes were made here in the workshop behind the house.

The OP specifically wanted a bike due to the reduced size and weight of one for storage and transport compared to a quad. All three of those go completely against that, not to mention the speed aspect. Granted they won't be travelling fast while towing a trailer or dragging a deer but between leaving the car and getting to the deer they'll likely want to travel faster than a slow crawl.Any of these would be better than a bike

Fair call on the size, but a quoted top speed of 6.4 km/H is faster than most blokes will cover over rough ground.
Yes, Those bikes won a lot of ESSA titles with different riders.
And me viz a 350 Bultaco Sherpa, anyone remember world champion (trials) Bernie Shreiber, rode against him in the Dunlop Trophy back in the 70’s... unbelievable that this knackered body did that ****.
