Well,it's a little unreallistic.I doubt there is one man in a thousand that can hike in 5 to 7 miles in bad terrain,haul 70 or 80 pounds of deer out ,turn around and do it again.There is probably not one in a hundred that can do it the first time.Your options are to take a couple of people with you,or cape him out the best you can and take the head and cape out with you.If you can handle a little more weight,take the loins.It should be cool enough there to leave him overnight.Take a rope and pull the rest of him off the ground as high as possible if a suitable tree is available.If you can't go back the next day,leave him on the ground for the other wildlife that probably need it more than you do anyway.
