Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Winching out Elk setup...

I've got nothing of value to add, but since folks seem to be playing nice(er) now I'll throw a few elk pictures up. All came out on my back, but a couple may have been possible to winch out with the right setup. To be honest, it would have been nice to get them out whole, for a variety of reasons. I almost always hunt by myself though, so I am not sure winching would be an option solo, as all the pictures I have seen thus far seem to be a group effort.











This one I did get out whole. After a 10 or so mile hike without seeing anything, I dropped down and hit a road mid day to hike back to the pickup. This rag was standing off the side of the road, oblivious to the fact that it was rifle season. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. It took some grunt work, but I and a random road hunter that stopped and helped me got him into the pickup bed.
