Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Minimum number of young guys to pack out your elk?

I’ve done it solo. But I’m now 40, and have other options so I’d rather not do that again. And I generally don’t elk hunt solo anymore either. 2 guys my age is a good number. But three of us with packs isn’t enough to get an elk out in one load if you have significant distance or elevation to climb.
So 1 human total is a minimum, but not preferred. And I have goats now.
