We never carried deer out of the woods because too many people would shoot at anything brown that moved. Orange has saved a lot of lives.

Darn good idea. Nothing like a popple nub digging into you shoulder But if both guys put a little bit of upward pressure with their hands, it's probably not a bad way to go!

"I say boy,Why don't you drag that buck back to camp with these here sticks,whilest I sit here on this ole Stump with my rifle and see if another deer buck comes by!"

Camera is lowed and so is the travois before the dragging continues with a man on each side.

Had a woodcutting partner on a property we couldn't drive on.
Ended up with foam pads to carry rounds on shoulders with after a while. Not enough natural padding there!

Several years ago I killed a doe that dropped in a wet boggy area near a river that would have been next to impossible to drag out.

We used our belts to tie her to a log and carried her out...and we didn't lose our pants!

Great eye for identifying the rifle as a M81 Remington. The straight grip stock threw me off at first as most had a pistol grip. Interesting rifles . Jack O'Connor once had one and wrote that when he pulled the trigger, " All sorts of things start to happen." Texas Ranger, Frank Hamer, with good effect, used a .35 Remington M81 in the Bonnie and Clyde shootout and supposedly with a 30 (+/-) round magazine cobbled together by a local blacksmith . Although -


I read somewhere that M81 extended magazines were generally available from police supply distributors. Regardless - an impressive looking 'tactical ' rifle.

Actuall, with the straight grip, it would be the earlier model 8. Not such good eyes after all.
