There is good meat like the neck chops that will get left behind if you butcher on the hill.

If you’re going to carry them out whole, get a carry belt made up, so you are carrying the deer horizontally. It’s a whole shitload easier. Definitely more comfortable and energy efficient than the traditional backpack style.
