Bigtyme and Renegade were hunting one day when Bigtyme shot a nice deer, just before Renegade was going to shoot. After some discussion about this, they decided that they'd share the meat, and the chore of dragging it out. So after Bigtyme did most of the field dressing while Renegade watched, they each grabbed a hind leg and started dragging back toward their truck.
It was more difficult than they thought it would be. The antlers were getting all tangled up in the brush and sticks and stuff, not to mention just diggin' into the ground, and the front legs were hanging up on every tree they passed close to. After about 2 hours of dragging, they came upon Danny, who was hunting the same neck of the woods. Bigtyme and Renegade looked exhausted and Danny asked them if they were okay. They explained why they were so tired. Danny then said, "You know, I'm pretty sure it would be much easier to drag that deer if you each grab an antler and drag it. Then the legs would also fold back along the body and be out of the way too!"
That was a great idea and Bigtyme and Renegade thanked him and told him they owed him a drink someday. Danny went on his way. Bigtyme and Renegade went to the other end of the deer, picked up an antler each, and started off. It was indeed easier.
Two hours later, Bigtyme and Renegade looked at each other. Renegade stated to Bigtyme, "I'm sure glad we ran into Danny! This is a lot easier!!" Bigtyme looked at Renegade and said, "It sure is, but ya know, I think we're getting further from the truck!!"
