Quartered up by headlamp on a starry night and serenaded by owls and coyotes throughout the hike out. Wonderful evening...
I guess the really cool part about that is the works mostly done when you get back home!
The really cool part is not dragging a useless 60% of the animal a long mile over rough, steep country by yourself only to have to dispose of it later at home.
