Odds are good you’re killed more elk then me, if you’re old as dirt, or have spent a lot of money paying for elk hunts that got you more than one elk a year from your home state. Just throwing around numbers since you’re wearing your Superman tights...I’ve killed or been involved in packing out or winching just south of 70 elk that were either OTC General 4 day bull season, or drawn cow tags. 1 elk per year.
It’s all about the terrain. You have as much first hand knowledge about coastal hunting in the Pacific NW as I do with high altitude hunting in Colorado. Which is zero! Before you yap on about “who’s killed or yarded more elk out”. Just pay attention to those of us who have done things you’ve never seen with your own eyes...We all have packed meat and horn stud. It’s not rocket science! Taking off my Superman outfit now. 😎
You’re way ahead of me, not quite double.
That’s a lot of meat.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.
TI, that’s some good stuff right there and the other pics of dead critters as well. I like the different rifles, too. You’re not sleeping with just one rifle. You fitting the rig to the type of hunt? 😎

I’ve enjoyed a healthy elk hunting career. It didn’t hurt growing up in a part of our state where elk have typically been decent in numbers. Hard to hunt, but pretty consistent success for me, my family, hunting pards and those I’ve played guide for. Blacktail Deer, now that’s another story with a lot less successful endings. 😎

Sometimes. My Wyoming hunts usually involve longer shots, so I take a rifle more tailored for them.
When in bear country, or when I don't know what to expect I take a more mainstream, albeit bigger caliber rifle.
How in the hell did the line get strung that far up in the tree in that video?
Guy that pulled the rope down didn’t walk a straight line. So we tied it to a stump on the other hillside hooked it to the truck and cleared it up when it came up it hooked on that trees limb. We figured the weight of the elk would brake it off but apparently it was it to be.
The winch on the 4 wheeler can lift the elk into the tree so you can then drive under it and lower it down onto the 4 wheeler. You always send the youngest guy into the tree. Then you drag the other elk...
I knew one old fellow who told me they used to drag elk with a capstan winch run from a chainsaw head. They would pack it in and tie it to trees, making pulls of a couple hundred feet at a time. The way I hunt it is too damn far to hike out to the truck for a chainsaw rig to bother with. Our elk come out on our backs. We hunt uphill. I don't disparage anyone for their easy elk.
He hunted the Gravelly Range. Anyone who thinks it is flat just hasn't been there. They are flat on top but have some of the nasties ravines--true frying pan country. Can be easy, can be absurd.
Willipa hills to Pe Ell, I've spent days packing out bulls. Sling shot to the top the only way to go. Near killed two young-ins with flying elk! Stuck in brush so thick i couldn't touch the ground hangin there arms and face bleeding thinking WTF im gonna die! lol On top of all that throw in days with 3-7 inches of rain! hahaha. The MC corridor a whole nother gig. Two years ago Sept 15th opener woke up in the tent sidewalls touching me 18 inches of fresh snow to start the season!
I'll bet I've killed a smaller 4x4 bull than either of ya!

Is that blue line a target so you can drop it right in the middle and not run over the turd and get it all over your tires? Damn, some guys think of everything.....

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..,. 😎
Beaver,
One of the coolest setups I've seen was posted on iFish a few years back. Dude took an old Honda ATC, 110cc if IIRC, and made a winch out of it with a big spool of wire rope. Essentially infinite duty cycle.
