I wish I could do that. I hunt NJ and PA. Both states basically require a whole deer. Field evisceration is allowed.

Yep I have to cross a river to hunt whitetails .   I have gutless boned a half dozen deer and carried them out in a crew cab.   I love that pack for heavy loads.   I pack in lone wife stands, and ferry assorted hunting goods in the pack.   It is heavy empty but with heavy loads its good.

Well I ordered the crew cab. In camouflage. I like the coyote color better but it kinda resembles a deer.
It's mostly for hunting in the mountains a few miles from the road. It's going to be nice for hauling tree stands and clothing up and down the hills. It's s tricky thing to hike in steep terrain then try to stay warm in a tree stand all day.
As far as brining a deer out cut up, or whole. I'll do what ever feels best at the moment. The PA Game Commission? Don't get me started!

I have a Crew Cab and love it.  The only complaint I have is that it is a heavy pack.  The lease I hunt now is very hilly and most of the stands are a good long walk in.  I've been leaving my Crew Cab in the truck and once I have a deer down, its easy enough to get the pack and go haul it out.  I've thought about trying to carry one out whole but being that I'm a 41 year old short, fat guy.....probably not going to happen unless I tag a small doe.  I do enjoy using it to haul treestands and stuff.  I keep saying I'm going to order the load sling for it but haven't yet.
