Ideally, you may have a camp with a winch and a frame, or a tractor with a lift or bucket to lift the deer up. You will also want plenty of clean water available, preferably from a potable water system with a garden hose and sprayer.
Tie a strong rope or strap around the animal's antlers, or under the head as high up the neck as possible. Some hunters prefer to hang their deer by the achilles tendons with the head down, but generally, the steps are the same.
Hanging head up makes removing the stomach, intestines, and bladder a bit easier, and is less likely to contaminate the meat when this is done...

Here's where I drew my inspiration: http://urlybits.com/2010/03/why-men-...dvice-columns/

Recent experience. Lost mine in the snow. Slight smack as I spun and nudged the guard rail at about 15 mph tops. Driver side damaged only. Broken tail light. Short heavy 3 inch long dint near light needed knock out or filled. Front fender 3 foot long dent about 3 inch wide from front light to a foot short of driver door. Door squeaked when opening. Still able to drive car home for a cry haha (I don't like to cry in public). Scraped front corner of bumper. Front and rear bumper needed repair and both completely resprayed. No other damaged. $4500 at a Porsche Garage for repairs which the Insurance covered apart from my first $250. Artic silver and I defy anyone to see that the car was ever in an accident. I took photos on my cell phone before the repair, which I will keep with repair records should they be needed again.

Just for everyone's benefit... the estimate to repair was $12,900 so that resulted in a total loss. They paid me $15,670 which was the ACV after I requested a second appraisal. I enjoyed that car for almost 6 years so in order to keep the tradition going I went out and bought a Turbo.

Congrats!
Thank you! It's a ton of fun just like my last 996 although it is much heavier and the suspension is a little too soft for my liking but I'm still getting used to it.

shame on what happened to your car but congrats on the turbo. Had a similar experience happen to me but instead of a deer, it was a crazy drunk women. I was at 11k-ish in damage so didnt total out for me thankfully.
