As @Gamehunter stated, put a dollar value on it and you carry out whole animal less guts. No choice but to suck it up and carry the weight, hard on the body though. If meat hunting for self or charity bone everything out and carry out as much as I can handle on the day. If close to transport then take whole animal or at least back legs with skin on and bone in plus as much other meat as possible, I prefer to hang/age meat on bone. Sometimes means two trips, one for meat and another for gear. Coming up 64 so loads above about 40kg avoided as much as possible.
