I have no interest in trophy hunting, but being alone, in the bush, on foot, with only what you can carry - that's my kind of hunting.

If you like doing it on foot, maybe consider a monowalker? Save you knees and back from added stress from lugging a carcass around. I'm unsure what going down hill would be like, but uphill would be great.

The properties I've been investigating recently are way too steep for that :-)
It falls about 280m (920ft) over 400m distance. I'm thinking more along the lines of an aluminium "torpedo" I can fill with stuff, then I climb up the hill and drag it up via a rope. Very dense bush so it needs to be aerodynamic so as not to get caught up in the bushes and trees.

It took me 90-minutes to move about 500m distance down the hill, and two-and-a-half hours to climb back out. Looking at the map afterwards I estimated we actually covered 8km(!), zig-zagging back and forth across the hill. We were pushing hard too as we had to be back home for 1400hrs, nothing stealthy about it. Upset one Fallow who shouted at us before heading up the opposite hill with his tribe.

Here it's wet and slippery, and windy, but not too crazy cold.

Great hunt. I've spent enough time sliding on my arse down glacers and scree in Chile. That's hard enough let alone trying to hunt.

You should create a bullet style capsule with a ring fixed to the top.

That's the idea.
Another option is a $25,000 drone that can lift 10kg loads ;-)

Haha f*** that, I'd buy an eagle/hawk/falcon and just have it trained. Probably cost a tenth of the price
