If trees are available and there's no spiffy clean base of snow to work on, I've come back to camp for a "come along" and used it to hoist elk up to a stout limb. Work them up and bag them without even a pine needle on the meat.
Interesting one a couple years back. We came upon two guys scratching their heads as they studied their two bulls on the ground and their short box with a 4-wheeler onboard. With three of us and two of them, we simply heaved the bulls on top and away they went. One would have to hold me at gun point before I'd buy a short box.
Also helped a guy get a whole moose out and into his truck. Again, between the three of us in camp, we had about 350 ft of line and with several pulls eventually got it through the willows and to the road. By that time we had enough traffic stopped to heave that one in.
I need to get to mass more often, as no one seems to be around when the big ones hit the ground.

Shrap--that is a great setup. Sorry if my first thought was "Haven't I seen this on a yellow Avalanche?"

I've seen you make that comment before - possibly directed toward the same guy. If you are against hunting cows then start a topic. Prolly be a good read. On the other hand if it is just this one contributor you think shouldn't hunt cows for whatever reason please explain. That sounds like even more interesting reading.

Even then, you need as straight a pull as you can get to get the elk to slide into the back of the truck without lifting it onto the tailgate.
You could put a sheet of 3/4" plywood in the back of your truck and use it as a ramp for pulling.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

This is the method that I prefer, and have used often! A front end loader and a cast iron hand winch at the tractor shed that has been in our family more than 100 years.

Shrap,
Looks like you've got it all figured out. Not your first rodeo? <grin>
