At 65, I'm the youngest of my hunting group. A few years ago we knew our elk hunting days were numbered because of the difficulties of packing the meat. I made the decision to get some pack animals of some kind and ended up with llamas. They've worked out great and have added a good 5 years to our elk hunting careers.
In '12, they brought out 3 deer and an elk. The elk was the closest to the road but was a 2000' drop off the side of a mountain. My boys handled it like they were hiking through a pasture.
