Solo Pack Out Question

I did a couple miles with no trail and a lot of side hilling in five trips. That made me really rethink some of the places I have gone by myself. If it is cold outside and you are in no hurry, you could take your time over two or three days. If it is warm outside, I think 6.5 miles one way would set the average guy up for a miserable experience with a high chance of meat loss and injury.
 
I've found the biggest factor in the quality of meat you'll get from an animal isn't the age, gender or what it's been feeding on, but how fast the meat gets recovered and cooled. Pack an animal 100 miles if you want, but time is not on your side after the kill shot.
