With bigger bastards whats wrong with carrying a set of hind quarters on the shoulders and going back for the rest ?
Fair enough if the deer has been hung up overnight and cooled, to skin it and quarter for the carry but putting warm meat in a pack makes no sense to me. Maybe it's just my back round in food safety ?
