My elk hunting has certainly changed as I have gotten older. The days of several miles in, cross country are over, backpack hunts over, for all the reasons described.
Now I tend to hike gated logging roads, it is generally easy going and figure I can use a game cart. I have had no success yet with this method but makes for a pleasant day in the mountains.
I ran into a nice woman on the trail, she has a llama-packing operation. In years past I wouldn't have given that a second thought, but I got her contact information. Seems like a good way to go.
