I prefer hole animal removal, when possible. Cleaner meat, cleaner butchering just better quality control of meat... Always TRY to hunt uphill
Chit does happen and sometimes things end up in the bottom of a drainage, Where only dismemberment will work.
I have on private, state and federal land lugged and drug halves and whole down hill by hand, boned and semi-butchered elk in foot only access areas, wiggled my tractor to them, used various atv's, been involved with horse packs and backed my pick-up to them. And hope to some day use logging equipment for said purpose, Just has not happened for me yet
By far I prefer hole elk extraction.
