I'm with you PJ .You do what ever you have to to keep hunting. I am still motivating but a few years ago I sold my big mules and got two smaller ones.I ride to my hunt area, get to a favorite stand a few 100yards away and wait for the elk.Seems to be working.When I get one down, I cut it into smaller pieces than I did when I was younger so I can load it.

Your method isn't too far down the road for me.


If God wanted you to walk and carry things on your back, He would not have invented stirrups and pack saddles
