Most of the places we hunt elk, an ATV is impossible and illegal. I got my ATV in '98 and I've been able to use it precisely 1 time to pack out an elk. All the rest have been the hard way.


Been on those type of hunts. A bill to one of the local guides that has horses or mules in the area sure is nice. I don't think I'd ever attempt an elk hunt solo, but shall it happen, I'd sure go hire some help to pack it out. That's a bitch for us flat lander sea level folks.
