If that's the video I'm thinking of, Egon carrying out a 100kg stag at the age of 84 is just being stupid! And some would probably say irresponsible of his sons to let him or encourage it. You can do something a thousand times perfectly but only takes one mistake to bugger your body into your latter years. That's why I won't hunt with anyone who doesn't use a suppressor now, you get one set of ears, and my ears happen to be my money makers. I know a couple of big strong guys that injured their backs because they decided to carry out a whole deer. It really is pointless I think. What does the person do with the spine, ribs, femurs etc, short of bones for a dog it's a lot of kg's of dead weight that you don't want at the end of the day. I will and occasionally carry the hind quarters bone in back to camp to hang for a night or two. But if I'm doing that I'm only going to be carrying the back wheels and backsteaks. Probably a bit off topic sorry wayno...
