I've had some really experienced elk guides tell me there is no place you can kill an elk that you can't get a horse or mule to. A couple of them guided in Idaho's Bighorn Crags. They may or may not be right, but I've seen and killed elk in places I sure as hell wouldn't be comfortable getting my horses into, but not many. Steepness is one thing, but adding deadfall jungles to it is another.
