I usually elk hunt with two or three others. The shooter has the primary responsibility to get the animal out, while others continue hunting. Weather and other unforeseen events will some times allow others to help out. Once your tag is filled however, you are required to help others, until the last hunter is done. Two years ago we had two young guys tag out on the first day. They spent the rest of the week packing meat, and we're happy to do it. We all filled out and they packed parts of every elk.
