Default RE: Colorado Elk Hunt: 1-2-3 Down (Part II - Packing)

I know that the "killing part" is the part that titillates most readers on these forums, especially for those who are in love with the idea of elk hunting; however,....

For those who are in love with the reality of actually doing a successful elk hunt, the packingaspect is more than just a minor detail. You ain't gonna just drag them out like a whitetail. Not having a truly workable plan canresultin elk meat rotting in the woods, abandoned, which I have seen as folks were too beat up or weak to hike back into the woods and haul therest of it out on their backs.
================================================== =

Anyone have any additional horse/packing experiences or tips to share that may help folks have a successful pack out?
