Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Winching out Elk setup...

Mark unless folks know the lay of the ground on the coast and the logging rd systems they won’t understand

It’s elk hunting the locations from the first season on AxMen.

Ass shoot’n....I’ll leave that to newbies and a dipschit known as SFMan 😎

I have done it all...I’ve carried quarters, meat bags, and hide. I’ve boned out 100% in the field leaving the stripped cage and guts behind. And I’ve winched out whole elk. It’s a lot easier to take out whole, especially when you have more than one animal down in the same area.

Road hunting at it’s best....This one came up and out with a Capstan Winch. Another bull was laying 60 yards away from this one. 😎

Chris, What’s a processor? memtb

If I can get them home like this without the guts of course. It’s a lot better for me and my pards backs. 😎

I and my wife have backpacked 3 moose and numerous elk, in various stages of dismemberment......give me a vehicle/road or 2-track/and strap anyday....especially if there is snow on the ground! memtb

I have batted about 500 with elk hauled out on my back versus loadable whole. I would like a capstan that would mount in my gooseneck hole or maybe a roller on the headache rack.
I pulled an elk out of the breaks in parts that required 500ft rope to get down to. Pulled a deer out with the rope and truck, in a similar spot. Most times we can anchor one end and pull the truck forward pulling the elk up and in.

Always open to new better options. Elk I shot last month was reachable to load whole, but landowner had preference to gutless method so took out in parts loading her on tailgate 1/2 dozen steps from carcass.

Muletape and capstan would be worth packing.

I was hoping I wasn't too late.

Oh well,
that was too easy!

Crab line

Hey there’s some real cool guys here that haven’t got a elk out whole, or a Montana Muley out whole!!! Hint

Haha

2400 ft on this one and a Partner with the same and another with 1200.
Made dead elk walk over a mile in the nastiest shît a guy can crawl through. Mule tape sucks azz. 9/16 crab line will last for years my spool has pulled out over a hundred deer and elk.

Rope works in pretty ruff country

I buy blocks and rope from this store.
They have fair prices and are very good people.

Yep...Road hunting Mofo’s right there. LMAO! Thanks Fred for posting a pic of a “reel in a truck bed”. We’ll talk about getting me set up with similar unit. 😎

👍 ya we can get something together I would go Aluminum For the spool and build it tall enough for storage tray underneath for rigging and such.

Copy...😎

Jesus H you guys are an industrious bunch.

There simply aren’t any roads where I’m at to get a vehicle hooked up to.....but I do use a dirt bike in a few areas I hunt that have single-track, motorized trail access. Generally avoid ATV routes due to the immense traffic they generally have, but the single-track stuff I occasionally hunt weeds out all but the very best bike riders.

Maybe I can figure out a way to anchor something to the old DRZ....
