That's pretty cool - especially the part that has no bones on your shoulders.Quote:

Pretty cool alright, might try it later this week. Oh wait not sure if my knees would agree.:omg:
Have used that method since late ‘80’s ? Bigger animals still better to carry the old backpack way, load doesn’t hang down low around your arse.
Bugger carrying them whole now a days. The last one I carried the pack method was about a year ago. When I got to mate Brian and dumped it at his feet he just looked at me expressionless and laconically said "what did you do that for"? Like he thought I had gone mad.Quote:

Be interested if you try it some time or yr boy does
That looks bloody good same as using the belt.
Which I sometime forget

Yes, getting over carrying out whole animals but you gotta do what you gotta do when recovering animals for game chiller. Certainly don’t do it when hunting for food bank.
Yes very similar to Alex gale belt carry method. Looks like ideal for fallow in open country.
The way we carry pigs out of the bush is very similar…. U can only do it so many ways… but the fact that hunters have achieved methods and pass it on is magic…. The “ lady” featured is what impressed me actually… her actions speak for itself… inspirational for many
There's a lot of variations on the old traditional meat hunting carry method, but this one looks interesting. One things for sure, the older you get, the heavier the animals get, especially after a couple of hours.
Bugger carrying a red like that...
I've got a long back, and it is more comfortable for me to carry big deer on a belt than backpacking - I try and set the weight so it is pushing against my hips when I lean forward. That has the advantage of not having a heap of unsupported weight flopping around above me when on uneven ground.
Different strokes for different folks and all that.
My dad showed me that when I was younger but it's only really any use for small floppy deer like fallow, reds (or even a big fallow) feel like they're hanging off you and it's difficult to control the balance of the weight (if that makes sense?)
Much prefer just carrying the animal the normal "kiwi way" where you have the back legs in your hands and can control the weight and even cinch the legs in a bit to transfer some of the weight to your hips
That looks like a good method. the only thing that I was curious about was it looked like the skin from the front legs would pull together like a rope. So it would be a thin strap on your shoulders. Not ideal for a big animal.
I quite often if I head shoot fallow carry with them with legs tied and slung over shoulder - still cracks me up when you see photos of hunters carrying deer out with the head on why ??? just dumb -
Iv never carried a deer whole.Just take legs n steaks.My back been fkd for 50yrs,gotta look after it.
nothing wrong with that trout take the best bits I will take whole if I head shoot and we need meatQuote:
