When you do it that way you leave 2/3rds of the weight there.
If it is not where I can get to it with a vehicle , I also skin and quarter mine. I take an old Army duffle bag with knives , paper towels and plastic bags . Leave guts , hide and most of the bones for the Buzzards and Coyotes . Suspect the feral hogs get their share where I hunt . I am getting to old to drag them a mile or two . I get my lifetime license's next year but also have a bad back . Most this year only needed dragging a yards .
