RE: haul out your kill
For the previous 2 posts, i don't mean to start a brand war but unless you shoot your deer in a dry pasture, leave your trucks near a road. I have an '03 Silverado and Z71 or not, there isnt enough ground clearance to make it very far. My dads buddy has a GMC 2500HD 4 door and it gets hung up and stuck very easily. My buddy has an F-150 Supercrew and hell he gets stuck in my driveway. Anyone who doesnt want to beat their trucks up arent going to just go parading through the woods with a pickup. However, if it were absolutely necessary, I'd pick the newer Dodge Rams mainly from experience with them. They sit higher than both Chevy and Ford so u don't get hung up as easy. Great 4wd system too.

we have alot of logging roads/other roads on all our properties, so its just a matter of dragging them to the nearest road or downhill to a pasture or open area that we can get an ATV to. i shot a doe during early rifle season, gutted her out, dragged her to a field maybe 35 yards away, and then i loaded her on the four wheeler to take down to the truck. ATV's make the world alot easier.
and about the truck idea, we usually use the four wheelers when possible, as they can get in those places you dont dare take a truck. however, most of our logging roads at our place in iowa are probably 6 inches wider on each side of a Z71 Chevy. we take our trucks right in the woods when the ground isnt too bad. But 90% of the time, we pre haul the deer with an ATV to a spot where they can be picked up with a truck
