Those elk are tough to kill, even tougher to get out!!!!
Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Yuppies? Laffin...Alpine, this thread is heavy with dead critter pics...Hang some of yours for us to enjoy. Thanks. 😎
Odds are I have killed more elk than you and have been in on the retrieval of a lot more. I'm all for making it as easy as possible, as I have retrieved elk every which way possible short of calling in a Chinook or loading them into a howitzer and shooting them up onto the road. That would include winching or dragging with an ATV. Been there. A guy could conceivably spend more time and effort pulling an elk through thick/blowdown timber--and a dead elk will hang up on every log, every tight spot it possibly can. You'll spend more time and effort lifting, shoving, and trying to guide an elk through the timber than carrying it out. Been there. I just don't see how the effort and cost of a 1/2 mile winch and the effort to keep the carcass moving through thick timber (I mean thick) is a better idea. Toss a number behind that statement big mouth. I only seen one elk that one time. LOL. If only for fun I have gutted two this year. If you can quarter faster than I can pull one out with my rope and truck you are the man. But the fact is you are full of shît.

PS: I can cape quarter and load in less than 1 1/2 hours if the elk is in a spot that ain’t vertical.
Don’t believe me ask around. Some have seen it with their own eyes.

Why are elk a rock measurement? They're a herd animal, huge sized, leave a dumb amount of sign,come to a call like a turkey, feed like a Angus, stupid easy to spot, but yet folks act like they're ghosts...... People are funny

Lol.. I’ve said the same a few times, guys make them out to be some mythical creature. Not a big deal to fill a tag if you’re not picky...big bulls, well those [bleep] are a different story. Standard Disclaimer applies, not jabbing at traveling hunters that don’t live around them year round.

JM, Not sure...Dudes like to get horned up about elk. We scout em. We hunt em. We shoot em and we haul em out the best most economical way possible based on the terrain we are faced with...And we can shoot em accurately over 500 yards consistently. Uh-oh, some of us have been shooting for a loooong time past 400 yards 😎

Another spot, but 1/2 way to the bottom. The golf shoes came highly recommended by Ted!
