Thanks everyone, great insights. Its awesome to have access to all the experience you all have.
I actually managed to recover the whole animal, had about 40 meters to drag him through the scrub to a cutting where I could come back to with the quad. I halved him through the second rib then used my belt as a drag rope to haul the halves up hill. Hes now ageing in my killing shed for butchering tomorrow. Going to get a pile of sausages made to share around mine and my wifes staff team.
