In all those photos you don't see the other guys standing around either they all have orange on and put the guy with the buck in the middle of the group. Today we use walking sticks and bone those suckers out. Like I said it was before the Outdoor industry exploded and newer and newer packs came out to carry your meat out. We used to in the old days have a utility belt with canteen and our weapon. Now packs have scabbards and meat shelves and on and on. I just think that Grandpa and my Dad wanted to see if he was raising men, or boys.:lol bashing sign:

Haha yeah, it seemed like a good idea at first, but after getting home to take a shower and finding a tick crawling around in my skivvies after I took em off I decided never again. Drag it, or cut it up.

Gotta agree with you on the old time hunters Kurt, they were born hard and hunted that way until they died.

Over here the blokes I hunt with make the deer into backpacks and carry them out whole all the time (just like in those pics above). No way would we just sling them over our shoulder, good way to limit your hunting through back injury.

I always bone out the meat because I always seem to shoot my deer near the bottom of a steep drainage and have to carry it up to get it out. Another important reason I bone out is that I believe that the quicker you can get the meat off the bone and cooled out, the better it will taste. I have never had anybody that eats any of my venison say it tastes gamey.

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle, looks like it's been done before and some still lug deer out like that. Hard core. I still don't think it's a good idea.
From a well seasoned old dude that is some big guy stuff. I am impressed by the photos and the number of brute type dudes who carry bone, skin and guts out. I have done the gutless bone out everything I can't eat except the horns which I saw off for decades as it seems a waste of work especially when I am miles from my truck. The ticks alone would give me the heeby geebys...
Thanks jesse for posting this up as it has gotten a life of it's own with color photos and everything...

In the video"Beast Mode Training and hunting. "Cameron Hanes" still works his normal job 8-5pm, 40 hours a week. He has a wife and 3 kids. But yes, more power to the hunters that can do this.

Good lord, now Kurt really made some of us look like a bunch on Nancys with the pic of his wife toting a buck out. :pull-shades: :not-worthy:

I packed this fork out of a nasty steep canyon in D15 a few years back. You know the old weightlifters term "feel the burn"? Oh ya, an hour of carrying dead weight on your back, you definitely "feel the burn".

You have the sucker all wrapped up on you cool and like you said feel the burn. But when its all over there is hardly anything you feel you can't take on.

I carried a full-grown whitetail doe out about 1/2-3/4 a mile like that when I was 13. Think I weighed about a buck-twenty at the time. It's not as hard as it sounds. Getting it up there is the part you will hurt yourself on. Once you get it up and get the weight distributed right, it's just like carrying a heavy ruck or an econo-sized bag of dog food.

Could not agree more. When the only way out is up.

Not sure if this pics going to work but its a photo of a friends dad with a decent size deer I have no idea how far he carried it but one thing I know is not everybody is created the same and what one person can do there's millions that can't

This is how my grandfather and dad did it. The only reason I wouldn't is becuase of all the ticks.
