Asking about the best way to set up my truck with a in/out steel drum holding 3/4” non-stretch rope for ripping elk out. Curious on drum size to rope amount. I would want a minimum 3k feet...More? Drum would ride in the 6’-5” bed of a Tundra. Brackets would need to be fabricated probably. I would want to be able to remove drum and hardware at the end of the season. Ideas on best way to set a stop or brake on the drum wheel for pulling. Then winding up slack line, crank handle I imagine. Off season project..,. 😎
"Self righteous" is defined as having or characterized by a certainty, especially an unfounded one, that one is totally correct or morally superior. Great pictures of packing elk out on ones back. Contributes absolutely nothing to the posters original question but does self aggrandize and proclaims moral superiority of a groups retrieval style. Great, you can carry an elk out on your back, congrats. I have done it. Sometimes I prefer to take out whole if possible to let hang and tenderize the meat. At times a winch setup would be helpful.

You live in Colorado let’s see the picture of the elk you kill! let’s hear how you addressed the removal. Please, share if only so we can be entertained.
You seem to think I can't. Are you sure you want to double down on that? Ooohhhh. A double dog dare. LMAO!

Some folks get more mileage out of being critical of everything that does not fit their model or opinion, unfortunately. I think some of the manly man tough guys must not have done schitt in their youth or they wouldn't have the knees, backs, and hips to haul big loads of elk today..... just my observation. I don't hunt the tough places like some of the photos show anymore. Too hard on this old man's bones. Bust your azz anyway you want to. Nobody thinks the more of you anyway! Happy Trails
