I have helped a stranger get his elk out before. End of my hunt, but I did get a tenderlion out of the deal. I had a couple guys help me get a buddies elk out after the buddy sprained his ankle. Neither of us got any meat as promised.
The problem is time to hunt is short so the afternoon or day a person helps a stranger can mean no time than to hunt. I have had people walk right past me before, and yeah any help would be nice, but it is my problem not their's. I pulled the trigger so it is my responsibility to get it out.
