I'v packed out 100 pounds in a pack frame. One time when I was hunting with one of my friends, who is older, and another buddy of ours, I ended up packing out the whole elk. My buddy quartered the cow up and helped put the meat in my pack frame. It was all up hill to the truck, but that was only about a 1/4 mile away. My buddy and I were helping the old timer get his last elk.
