Here is what I do; I have a Canadian backpack made by Blacks Creek that I cary everyday. It has all the tools I need to skin, quarter and hang an elk (some of these tools change with the seasons). After I get an animal down, I get it hung in a tree to start cooling. When I'm finished and ready to head back I can put one quarter in my pack and the head on the outside. Then I come back with my lighter weight aluminum frame and very minimal supplies (no extra's) to get the rest.
This past rifle season I shot a spike and did it in two trips (3 miles each way).
Like Pete said, bone it out, and load it up. I hauled 3 quarters of my spike in one trip on the aluminum frame, but that was just meat, no junk.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
