While stalking and sneaking through the elk woods, I hate having a pack on my back. I believe it really helps my stealth mode to hunt that way.
When I make a kill, I'll prep the animal and haul a ham or shoulder like in the above photo on my way back to camp then return with my backpack to take out the next load.
Maybe not right, but just my way of doing it.
I do however need a better pack than my old metal framed hauler.
