I've got a place I have been saving for the rut that's close to a 2 mile walk into a big river bottom. However I have a back up plan for getting one out. My stand is sitting near a creek where three finger ridges come out of a bedding area. Once it levels out there is a little slough coming off of the river that's barely ankle deep. If I kill one in there I have an uncle who lives about three miles up the river on the water. I've already spoken to him about hauling me up there and picking up a deer if it comes to that. So at worst it's going to be a 40 - 50 yard drag to the river. Aint no way in hades I'm dragging one 2 miles. Like others have said, I'm not that mad at them.
