I’ve started quartering & packing out about 3 years ago & haven’t looked back. I’ll even quarter on my private land spots & just pull up, put them right in the cooler

Field dress, drag, hope I remembered a ramp of some sort so I don’t ruin my back getting it into the truck.

Do you find the quarters age as well as a full hung deer?
how much weight and volume would you guess for an average buck?
Do you think one person could pack out all the quarters, skull with antlers and the hide in one trip?

We don’t kill deer here….Saddle hunters just bicker over the nuances of kit all day.
Wait, the point of hunting is to kill deer?!

This a good average deer packout, 84lbs. I can all 4 quarters, straps & scraps in medium mystery ranch game bag
Oh yes the quarters age just as well for us as a hanging deer
Pack outs take many shapes. Things they all have in common:
Good memories.
Good stories.
Good exercise.
Overall satisfaction with a hunt always goes up.
I routinely pack out 25-60% of my body weight, and I’m tall and skinny and not built for it.
Yea you can pack it all out at once. Do it!

It is 100% dependent on which property I am hunting. There are a few with nice 2 tracks and the Hawk Crawler deer cart is the ticket. Some have no 2 tracks and for those I take the jet sled. Sometimes im just scouting and then end up shooting a deer and those are the times I pack it out. But my wife doesn't like that cuz she wants the carcass for all of our farm animals to enjoy eating.
I just shoot the little ones. Easy to drag.
But it’s kind of tradition to drag one out if I’m hunting with my brother and nephew. He has a side by side these days to make things a little easier. By myself I’d be more inclined to quarter it depending on how far the drag would be.
