I saw this thread on another forum and thought it was interesting. Most people were saying at least two trips and talking about 100+ lbs of cut and wrapped meat.
First of all, I call bull crap on a 100+ lbs of meat. I have packed out 100+ deer in my pack and I’ve never made two trips. The average deboned weight has never been more than 60 lbs. This is deboned 4 quarters, two backstraps, and 2 tenders. Plus head and cape.
I HATE going back for a second trip and have packed out every deer I’ve ever shot solo in one trip. And I don’t shoot small deer. This one trip is usually with rifle, tripod, BTX spotter, down jacket, game bags, knife, headlamp, extra ammo, water, a few snack bars etc. It’s sure nice to have a buddy with you but definitely not necessary. Im not saying this to brag about how strong I am. I’m 46 years old and in what I would consider decent shape so I just can’t understand how this is taking two trips? I can understand two trips if you have camp to pack out too but not a day hunt.
This is an entire deboned deer, head and cape plus all gear mentioned above.
