I generally don't leave the head on but I do hang from the front legs simply because I find it easier to lift the deer that way and get the hook on the rail above my head, put hook through front leg then bear hug the chest and lift as high as I can then whack the hook over the rail at the peak of the lift.

Come to think of it, pretty sure the bulk of the deer in the chiller where hung by the front leg/s

Hanging from the brisket is better again
