I think your definition of "pack" is different. He didn't claim to be carrying a full combat load, just "my pack" i want mine to have about 15 helium ballons Great idea! If you see a guy with some balloons tied to his Kodiak this year....... I didn't read this whole thing, but I'd say that carrying a heavy rifle is better exercise for building muscle. Light rifles are for more repetition. Sometimes I pull my truck up the mountain road just to get warmed up for the hunt. Bill

If people worked out as long as it took to write 23 pages of this BS they would all be in better shape and could probably carry a cannon.

That is correct bluegillman, rifle weight and packin' out meat are not the real test in an emergency situation, we were pushing out a bowl to try and run something over an old gentleman that had left and set up an hour earlier. I saw him down and poppin nitro pills, I hollered and we all ran up to where he was, I handed my rifle to one of the other guys, loaded the old man up on my back and headed out of the timber down the mountain with him while his son was calling 911. We reached the trailhead and met a life flight whirly bird that took him to the hospital in Grand Junction, he had 3 stints installed and survived  , packin' a 175 lb. man out in a hurry while running bent over frontwards is a hell of a chore, and it didnt hit me till the copter was hummin' off in the distance, I fell over and nearly had to call them back to get me to  Gunner

I love the guys that pack a handgun up the hill...ostensibly for grouse or to "finish" game.... Grouse: if you are willing to screw up your elk hunt by shooting at grouse...that leaves more for the rest of us...lots more. Finishing shots: A spare cartridge for the rifle weighs less.....just sayin.... Pick up your hat that says " Tyro" at the front desk....

Don't worry GW I carry one to,always figured if my rifle gets knocked away and I wake up in a bloody mess with feces filled shorts I'm not going to stumble around looking for my rifle,I would just start truck'in back.
But a handgun don't slow me down or my rifles or my pack or my boots or my clothes or all the junk us gear heads have to have.

Oh, wait, we've proven that you don't have to carry a heavy pig of a rifle to be able to pack elk out.

Just to say something my dad moved to Montana in the early 50's.His grampa sent him here with a old 30-06 from WWII non-spotarized,with peep and clip mag.He climbed up and down the kootnie valley for years with that gun.In 1960 something my mom scrounged enough money and bought him a Winchester fwt '06 from the little gas/sport shop in Troy,MT.That old WWII rifle hit the back of the closet so fast that it's still there.
Maybe it was just a new gun,but I know it's HEAVY!!!
BTW my father is 73 yo this year and he drew his 1st either sex bull tag and that Fwt is going to put one more in the freezer.
