You experienced elk hunters, how many young guys do you bring with you to pack out your elk?
Can you get away with just one, if he's a hard worker?
Horses, mules, and llamas don't count.
Well.......
I packed out my Utah bull all by my lonesome.
My son and I killed our Colorado bulls a 100 yds and 3 seconds apart. I did notice by the time I got to the truck with my 1st load my 21 year old son was already back at the kill site strapping on another load. Doesn't seem that long ago I was hearing "Wait dad". "Slow down dad".............
In both cases it was relatively flat ground but some really thick azz timber. It's been a while since I have had to carry an elk on my back, but but at 64 years old it wasn't as bad as I feared.
I can't remember how to post a pic from the gallery so here's the link
