I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

If you're big time into that sort of thing & have the time & patience to train or the money to buy, ain't much grander than a good mountain mule.

I enjoyed that video. Thank you for posting. I've seen horses loaded in a pickup with side boards and take them down the road to another property unload them work cattle load them again and head to the house. But I have never seen anyone ride a horse or mule in the back of a pickup.

That's a damn fine looking mule. My mule story from this years hunt is that I didn't have to go to the hospital like I did in 2020.

35 years ago, a buddy invited some friends of his from Oklahoma out. They raised mules, and trailered out a bunch of them to ride. It was both his friends and the mules first time in the Rockies. A couple of us were on horses that spent the summer at 8K + in altitude, but the mules were coming from the flatlands. We rode about 15 miles the first day with around 2500 ft elevation gain. Those mules walked the mountain horses into the ground. We would stop after a steep climb to let the horses blow, meanwhile the mules would just casually start eating grass..........
