To be fair, the dog has less volts running through it's head than you, so it's ability to navigate the algorithm is a bit better.

If @USAF Ret doesn't do this, then America is truly in decline.

Y'all make me laugh. Much needed.
I am 13 weeks post Posterior laminectomy and C2-C7 Fusion. I understand your frustration but I will do what I have to stay in the woods. I will be moving to a crossbow for this season. My compound is out of the question at this time. Be safe and have a positive attitude. I imagine you could reach out to members of your hunt club and someone would give you a hand if you kill something.

Other thought - reach out to a group that helps veteran hunters like yourself. Not sure what state youre in - but Wy and MT have quite a few.
You might be suprised, but i know a lot of people that would get more out of helping you than shooting their own deer.

@USAF Ret I join many here who are grateful to you and your family for your service and sacrifice. I suspect many people in your vicinity would be glad to help if they knew it was needed. I would if I was there. Good luck this fall. Back in the day I had a home-built trailer on motorcycle tires/wheels that I towed behind my quad. An electric winch would have easily dragged a carcass up a ramp into the trailer, which could then be maneuvered under the game hoist at your hunt club.

This looks like it does what I need it to.
I have not really met any of them, yet. Some of them are driving an hour.
I have heard folks having a full recovery and going back to the gym and not having any effects. Mine was a butcher job. My neck hurts all the time, have a very limited range I can turn my head, and as a bonus, I have chronic headaches. Not migraines, but headaches 24/7 that can only be reduced with pain meds and muscle relaxers. I am waiting for my appointment at Duke University to try and identify cause and solution.
Not trying to scare you, like I said, most folks go back to business as usual.

Just do what my FIL did. Made sure his hottest daughter married a young hunter with a strong back (me) so he could come and drag his deer out of the woods. He also kept making babies until a boy came out. Unlimited free deer dragging energy achieved with that combo!!!
All jokes aside, I used to have a deer pole with winch that fit into my tuck hitch, worked pretty well. As for quartering/gutting a deer, I think a lot of people underestimate the power of paracord to tie legs out of the way. I've quartered many moose and elk by myself in less than ideal terrain, by tying legs out of the way to brush or trees, and adjust as needed.
