I've considered getting a couple of smaller burros for packing elk. You can get pack saddle broke burros from Canon city or the honor farm I think.
old news article They may be broke to pack saddles meaning they had one one, but not broke to packing. BIG DIFFERENCE!!!!!
Yes I apologize if you inferred from my post that I didn't believe more training would be required. That's not what I intended to portray.
I am well aware that stock requires training and significant time
