Nothing special about boning out. I didnt remove the guts on this one, but I think it is easier if you do. I just cut off the hide then remove the bones from the meat and put it in pillow cases. I can fit a whole deer in 2 pillow cases. Half goes in each, making it balanced when I throw it over the dle horn. The pack from our base camp was only about a 1/4 mile. That base camp was 4.25 miles from the trail head. Our second base camp was 8 miles in. Did I mention that I saw a 170+ buck after I shot the dink? This was a totally new area for us and thus a learning year in trying to find out where the bigger bucks hang. We believe we pretty well have that figured out now. I hear F&G is thinking about changing the hunt. Figures......[frown]
