Carrying 40 pounds in is easy, even the 2-3 hours of sweat and pain coming out with the camp and boned out deer isn't all that bad.

Moose or elk? I would want some friends smile


Though it's been decades ago, I've hunted the Dak's for deer and concur. And the ADK certainly can't be walked across in a 1/2 day!

This year's backpack hunt. Solo, Wilderness Area. Granted, it was unseasonably warm for nearly November, but that's not always the case!

An elk can be gotten out solo... it just takes more trips!

First load, somewhere in the 90lb range, and also somewhere near the end of my "fun" limit...
