When deer are around me, I either call a friend to drive in and pick me up or Let my gun to the ground, drop the rope and weight.
What's the weight for?!
Woops. That should have been= wait.
My rifle is only 11 lbs. Thats with a 5x22x56 Nightforce! So not really that bad to carry! I once carried a 18 lbs, 284 shehane match rifle to a shooting house to shoot a deer!
