[QUOTE="Allen, post: 180035, member: 389"] Skip the backpack for the deer unless you are really interested in quartering and deboning a deer in the Badlands. I have recovered probably 20 deer in the Badlands over the years and my favorite is the ugly green sled I bought in 2003. It alone has had a deer on it for more than 15 miles and is still quite functional.

Toss deer in sled, wrap the legs up in the rope on the sides, and away you go. I also have a backpack game cart that has seen some use, but like the sled...I've gotta hike back out to fetch it up. When push comes to shove, I chose the sled even on hilly dry ground. It slides amazingly well even on dry grass and gravel. The cart is good for open flat ground without a lot of fences. Lastly, the best way to keep the meat clean is to keep the hide on it. If you haven't played with deboning a deer in the field before, I will just say that even in November, there can be a lot of flies in the Badlands on a warm (50 degree, sun shining kind of day). For this reason, I prefer to spend my time getting the deer out on the half-shell (field dressed only). I've had no issues with the meat spoiling when using this technique, but have had issues when quartering it and packing it out. [/QUOTE]
