You don’t need a saw if you cut through the joints. Yep. The bearded butchers have a good video on YouTube of them processing a deer which really dives into finding the joints and where to cut to get legs and hindquarters off without a saw. I’ve packed out a handful of deer and I’ll never go back. Here’s what I use. Easton Full Bore internal frame pack (I don’t think this is available anymore but larger internal frame packs should work) Kodiak skinning knife with gut hook Game bags from sportsmen’s warehouse. I bring 3 with me. 2 for the hindquarters and shoulders, 1 for backstraps, loins, hearts etc. Old sheet to lay the deer on when cleaning. Helps keep the meat from getting dirty. Set of rubber disposable gloves Set of bungee cords in case I need to strap gear to my pack.

I’ve got a place that I hunt that produces some good bucks about every year and it 300 ft to the bottom of the gully. I can kinda get a four wheeler to the edge or if it’s dry u can make it down but it’s hell to get back up. I was gonna get some long ropes and have it set up that I could tie a rope to the deer and hook back to the fourwheeler and drag them up the mountain. It’s either that or a helicopter.
This. Only it’s a real bad time to find out your winch don’t work. Took me 2 hours to get Janet’s 8pt out of woods last year. Would’ve been 15 minutes if winch worked even though it was about an 80 degree incline. Worst job getting a deer out in years but worth it as it was her 1st buck in 6 years.

You don’t need a saw if you cut through the joints. Exactly.

Jackson atv in jackson,al would know You can get one of those hand crank winches that goes in the receiver hitch or you can weld a bracket on the headache bar and mount a winch to it albeit that is a fairly expensive mod. I'll tell you another method. Keep you a long 2-3 inch wide tow strap in your Ranger. Drag the deer to a close tree and tie the tow strap to the base of his antlers. Back the Ranger up to him and tilt the bed down, then pull the deer to the edge with his head just over the lowered tailgate. Thread the tow strap around the top bar on the roll cage (headache bar) and then tie it to the tree. Get in the Ranger and pull forward slowly and the strap and tree will load him up for you.

Place I hunt is steep. I have a deersleigher works great on steel terrain. Makes the drag much easier to get to a place where I can get a vehicle to.
If it’s too far on public cutting them up is the best option

I cut em up where they lay and pack em out my friend. I carry a Badlands Superday pack. Debone him laying on the ground down one side, turn him over, and repeat. Meat in the main pocket of the pack in a lawn bag. Clothes and stand (if applicable) lashed to the outside of the pack. Head in one hand and gun in the other. Take it slow and take breaks sitting down and leaning against a tree to unload my back. Usually a creek crossing or two mixed in there too after exiting the hilly terrain. I’m 49 years old and still pulling it off without too much trouble. Guarantee you can too. I carry a couple pulleys and some rope, just in case I want to try and hoist and cape one I might want to mount but so far I have decided for all euros and just cut his head off. 😬🤣
I love coming out from the middle of nowhere in one trip and without anyone having to come in to help me. We’re usually all locked in and rut hunting hard so I hate to ask someone to give up their hunting time to come help me. I do the exact same thing. Although I do carry a packable gambrel and will pulley one up to do the dressing.
