I've never done it and I know its quite common out west where its the only option but I really don't like doing anything but skinning warm deer. So the idea of quartering them isn't high up on my fun scale. I have read about how you can quarter and get even the tenderloins (belly straps) out without gutting them so its intriguing. Due to that the sled idea is one I've done. I have a sled for waterfowl hunting but I also used it opening day this year. Even dragging downhill the difference between the sled and not was significant and the monday of Gun season wasn't snowy in my area.
