How do you do it? Grab a back leg and start walking? Harness of some description? Simple rope around the head or head/front legs?

Are all Argocat drivers deaf or do you know the same one as me? (DT)Best approach is to phone the deaf Argocat driver and hope he understands where I am. This usually works unless he gets stuck or breaks down.
Hi Gabe, you know it is by the head or front legs don't you because any other way would be putting anything from the ground up into the pellage - never drag against the grain
Walk back to the vehicle, farm yard or whatever, collect a quad, tractor as available, drive back to the carcass, proceed like a sensible person....
I can carry a smallish Sika hind or Fallow doe in a large roe sack. I find this to be easier than dragging. I refused a shot on a large Fallow buck a few weeks ago as I could not picture how I was going get the bugger back to the landrover.
JC, don't you find that uncomfortable?On very steep ground I have been instructed to drag by the hind leg to slow the descent.
I never use a harness as I never want to be attached to the beast.
On very steep ground, I have on rare occasions tied a second beast to the hind leg of the first beast and then a third beast to the second beast.Normally use a rope round the neck and half hitch round the jaw.
Have seen a sika hind dragged with its legs crossed over the back of its neck.

In the US it pays to bone out on site if you have a long walk back as bones weigh so much, and as you can,t sell venison in most of the states, you will be prosesing most of it for home use.
