I bought a good internal frame pack to carry with me hunting, and an external pack frame to leave at camp. If I shoot a deer, I should be able to comfortably pack out 50 lbs on the first trip with my hunting pack, and retreive the rest with my pack frame on the second trip. I am 100% certain this will be much easier than the cart, at least where I hunt. NoWiser is spot on! There are only a very few scenarios where a cart will work more efficiently than taking care of the deer via gutless method, deboning, and hauling in a good pack. It takes a little bit of know how, some prep work in bringing the right equipment and being prepared, and having a good pack to do the job. 95% of the packs guys are using in MN are not good packs for hauling an animal (that's my opinion, but I'm confident in it!) I've hauled a couple dozen elk, a moose, many dozens of deer (mulie and whitetail), and a few antelope and I can say with no hesitation that getting a good pack and hauling it out on your back is much easier and more efficient than using a cart. I watched three grown men trying to haul an elk off a mountain on a cart one time and it hurt just watching them trying to lug that thing over and around the rocks, trees, cracks, and bumps. Now way!
