This incident did have be thinking about quartering the deer and using a pack frame, but I hate hunting thick timber with a pack on, and the padded straps on my shoulder make it hard for me to shoot quickly. So I typically only have a belt pack and what I can put in my pockets for a day of bush hunting.
I like sandwiches so the pack is full and usually lightened by the end of the day

Unless I get lucky....I will leave that one alone.....great hunt and write up...more field pics of the buck?
