Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting How much weight do you pack out?

I spent 25 years in the high country and only had to haul an animal out on my back a handful of times. I was fortunate to either be working for outfitters with horses or had access to a myriad of horses . I never once worried about how I was going to get an animal to the truck or the freezer. It was a good feeling! Thinking of having to carry one out on my back these days makes me pee myself! Dragging a deer a half mile is hard enough on the old body!
