[QUOTE="DRC458, post: 2849936, member: 530"] Nothing to be ashamed of. We all have different backgrounds. My Dad NEVER, ever, hunted or fished. I learned from friends my own age who did hunt and fish, and learned from their Dads. I think I had watched two or three deer being field dressed before I killed my first one. When the time came to field dress it, there was nobody there but ME! That first one, honestly, took me over three hours! I was so paranoid and just knew I was gonna' screw it up. (There's a lot of snickering going on out there right now.) I probably spend maybe fifteen minutes at it nowadays, and that's interspersed with all the BS'ing with the other hunters who are usually around. Sounds to me like a great opportunity for you and your son to learn together. And, you being a Doc, you can give some anatomy lessons along the way. Seriously. There are 'implements' out there with bicycle-size wheels to 'roll' your kill out of the woods on. They fold up so they are not all THAT hard to haul in. I've never used one, but have seen some fellows who did. Pack them in on their backs then, hopefully, unfold them and roll their deer out (or hog). As to 4-wheeler or beater P/U ... any possibility of having a place to store it on the lease? Oh, BTW, my son's former BIL was a salesman of medical supplies and I once helped him drag a deer out on a body bag ... literally. [/QUOTE]
