When you have horses, nobody thinks they're a 'stranger'. "How about packing this elk out for me, old buddy old pal"?
I was packing out a load of meat once and ran into an a-hole with two mules. He was on his way out, with no loads on the mules. He was a real piece of work, hauled in a couple dudes who he said were his "friends" but it was pretty clear he was being paid and my guess is, was not licensed.
I didn't ask for his help, but he made a really generous offer. It was about two miles out, and like I said he was headed out with two mules and no load. Said he'd "help me out" and "give me a great deal" and "only charge me $300." I guess he thought it wasn't possible to haul meat in a backpack because he was shocked when I turned down his generous offer.
