Yep. Some hunters that have to hike their game out put it in fabric bags for transportation. I personally prefer to pick up my deer with a golf cart
Yup----Around PA, we can usually drag a deer 100 yds to 1/2 mile or more to get it to the vehicle.

I'm going to think of this next time I go hunting. Every deer that I didn't drop in it's tracks ran down hill. The truck is always uphill with no way to drive down to them. 400' of elevation change down and then backup 400' over the 195 acres I hunt on. That is why I am a head shot kinda guy.

Bears are a little harder, especially the 500 pounders & larger. Best to just wound them & force them at gun point to walk to your truck before finishing them off.

Absolutely---You don't want to wound a deer to begin with, especially if he can go downhill away from your truck before dropping.
Yup! trees for ladder rungs.

Most of the places I hunted in Pike County were full of swamps, so you might have to drag a half mile to go 150 yards, but northern PA has places like Potter County, where you have to use a tree to keep you standing to catch your breath. This all confirms my idea of wounding the Bear & forcing him at gun point to walk to your truck before finishing him.

Do you have any videos of the forcing the bear to walk to the truck in your step-by-step? It sure would come in handy!
Happy smoken.
