Thread: carrying deer

Shot this nice big hind on Saturday. Decided to carry her out whole, I have three kids under 10 so we use a lot of mince, and I wanted to take all the trim and poor cuts I could for this. Carry was just under 2km as the crow flies, which took me three hours.

I’m not particularly strong or tough, she tried to kill me a few times along the way. Ended up head down boots up in a creek at one point.

Unfortunately she was angling away so the shot ruptured her gut bag, so had to leave the eye fillets and was a bit cautious with what I took around the ribs and skirt. Still, got 17kg of meat off her all up.
