Garbage bags work great for when you have to cross a ditch that is over your boots also. Instant hipboots!

Totally depends on terrain and time of year.
In my mini-van as shown at my workshops, I carry a ramp that attaches to my rear bumper once the back hatch is lifted. On top of my ramp which lays flat in the van I carry an Otter ice sled, Otter is far and away the best sled because it's much heavier plastic than a jet sled which I've went through 3 of before the Otter. When dragging big deer in a jet sled very far, holes get worn in the rear corners of the sled and allowed blood to leak out onto my carpet. Inside the Otter sled is a Versa Cart with large angled tires and it is the best cart ever made and I've had a bunch of them. I then store my boots all around the cart and some other crap too.
After a kill I always go back to my mini-van and change my clothing and get rid of my backpack and bow. In regular weather I take deer out on the Versa Cart (which of course is no longer made as are most good things from the past) and once at the van I dump the deer into the sled and slide it up into the van on the ramp. I then throw the cart and ramp on top and leave.
In snow I use the sled to get it out and use the ramp to slide it into the van.
Of course the very best way which hardly ever happens in my world is to have buddies help get them out.
Here are pictures of different bucks, a 10 point in a sled being pushed into my mini-van on the ramp, an 8 point being taken out on a Versa Cart, and a 12 point being taken to the van on an Otter sled. The 10 point was in a jet sled and that was my 3rd and last Jet sled.

Deer carts are nice when there isn't much undergrowth or obstacles, but when I'm a few miles in I find it easier to quarter and pack out.
