You sure are right about dragging northern deer. Our average bucks in Indiana ranged from 170-190, and dad has taken a few just over 200 field dressed. I remember vividly dragging my 1st buck 180lbs through the woods, across a creek, up a spoil bank, and another 400 -500 yards. My legs were jello, my lungs were burning, and just plain exhausted. I think I was 12 years old. My dad was kind enough to carry my gun.
