I have helped but more often than not my offer has been declined because the hunter had it covered.
The best help I got in CO elk hunting was a guy who helped me haul a buck up a very steep grade and then he helped me drag it all the way down the hill to my truck while we had a nice conversation. He was hoping the buck would get past me and saw me shoot it the it kick and roll into the canyon.
Other than that occasion with the deer help has been from my group and rented horses. I have had group help more than a dozen times in the last several years some of that hauling wasn't too bad but some was areal pain in the back, legs and knees. I have taken a few UTV, car and jeep rides that were offered without any meat and I've given and offered a few as well.
Elk hunters are pretty self sufficient and most would prefer to hunt first and haul on the way out even in my own group, I don't blame them once a hunter knows what they are doing that should be OK.
