      The unglamorous half of stalking — moving a carcass from where it fell to the larder, cleanly and without wrecking your back.

      • Drag sleds and covers — the Trace big game sled cover in water-resistant coated nylon. A sled keeps the carcass off dirt and vegetation, which matters for both hygiene and effort.
      • Roe sacks — the BushWear Yool RoeSack, for carrying a roe on your back where dragging is not an option.
      • Carcass trays — Garlands eco-friendly recycled trays in roe and fallow sizes, for the back of a vehicle.
      • Field dressing — the Hunter Specialties Butt Out II.

      Speed matters. The sooner a beast is gralloched, cooled and off the ground, the better the venison — particularly in warm weather.
