Getting your harvest out

using screw in steps would be a game changer... I'll keep that in mind for next season. I'll definitely check with the local DNR officer when I see them to make sure everyone is on the same page
 
I like tying my harvest to my Drone. It rises above the Trees heads to my GPS for my Truck, gently lowers the deer into my truck bed and turns itself off until I get there. Then I walk out thinking about the experience and smiling until I get to my truck, then I just drive away to the Processor....o yeah....then I wake up from the dream...

No offense Bro, but that sounds more like a nightmare than a dream!
 
I plan on getting a mystery ranch pop up this year. I would rather quarter and carry than drag especially since I'm usually alone and the terrain I hunt is no joke. I've spent more than a few torturous nights dragging alone from a long way back. Where I hunt even an average sized doe will break you off with no help. Didn't take me long to ask an old timer to teach me how to cut em up real quick. Luckily in my state it's completely legal and the coyotes usually take care of what's left over pretty quick

Every been inside a deer processers cooler and seen the deer hanging, some shot up bad leaves dirt in the holes, some have been dragged through swamps after gutting. some just should not be there because of their condition. Short clean drag seems ok long nasty drag, pack them out.

This is true. You lose meat in exchange for convenience. If I'm hunting closer in or at my lease, I will drag one to the skinning shed occasionally for ribs, neck, tenders, etc. But I've put three deer and a pig, plus oodles of small game, in the chest freezer this year. That's just a lot of butchering.

Most of my deer gets cooked as steaks, or cut into chunks for stew, grinding, or BBQ. Fancy I ain't. Cut that booger up and go kill another one is my modus operandi.

Hey Nutter, might I ask if you debone completely in the field and if so what do you put the in inside the Alice pack. Also, on out of state trips would you leave the deboned meat in it and put it all in a cooler till getting home.....i.e. a day or a few days.

I do debone occasionally, like when it's a longer than usual walk or I only have my small backpack. Hams are easy, shoulders are aggravating.

I typically put the meat in a contractor bag. But sometimes (today, actually) I forget it and just put the mea in the pack. Wash it when I get home.

My meat genetally goes in a cooler on ice for a few days before I transition over to the chest freezer.

Waiting patiently on Mystery Ranch to send me an email letting me know the pop up 18 is available.

Someone told me I may not get my deer from a processor. They might dole out from whoever. That seems pretty unscrupulous but could be common practice i dunno...but could you imagine getting one if theirs after you were so careful with yours....uggghh

The processor that we use will not take a deer if it is not taken care of properly. Each deer is tag with a number and is cut to the way you want it and you do get your deer with your number. That is why so many hunters go to him. I seen it first hand and his place is very clean.

Yup. The most common thing I’ve seen is that if you’re just getting straight cuts back (ground/roasts/loins/etc) you get your deer. If you’re getting anything that takes extra processing (bologna/jerky/hot dogs/etc) you’re not getting your deer back

Can you imagine that happening with a mount?
