If you pick your hunts by your ability to pack out the game. If you recruit fellow hunters based on their ability to pack out your game. If soloing I now restrict myself to varmints and wolves. I love to solo hunt but if I finally get a wolf it will get skinned prior to pack out. If you are shopping for a trailer after deciding no more backpack elk hunts you may be aging gracefully.

I am not aging gracefully. Nor is my wife. At her insistence, a few years ago we got a good used pickup with camper (good deal, I must admit). Last year, I got me a new Cabelas tent...
Them hot showers are nice tho....
