Game retrieval

My brother wouldn’t let me quarter a deer he shot. Thought it was beef I guess, said it had to hang beforehand. His bright idea was to cut down a small tree. Bind the deers feet to the pole, and carry it out like a old western movie. Damn pole was too short. Damn deer swung as we attempted to walk. Pole digging into my shoulder. Deer hitting my legs. Blood all over my legs. Made it a few hundred yards before I said enough.
I made the mistake of trying that carry method with a whitetail doe I shot last year about 10 kms from my truck. My son and I beat ourselves up getting it out. Never again. I will think twice shooting that far my truck and its back pack carry from now on
