Anyone that **expects*** me to take time out of my hunt to help them pack their elk out on my back is definitely going to be disappointed. I'd say more so if they expect me to do it for free, but it isn't going to happen either way. Although I've helped people a bit, we're there to hunt for our own animals. I always try to have the phone number of a pack service in my pocket, in case we get one down further than we can or want to pack it ourselves. Be happy to share that.

I've had to pack animals out by myself on multiple occasions. It is no fun but it can be done.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
