RE: How do you get an elk out of the back country?
I carry a small pulley to hang quarters up till I get' em out. Got a pack frame and snow sled back at camp. Also got horses that haven' t packed yet (could be a rodeo). I wouldn' t worry about packing my first one out. It can be done. You will learn real fast from the experience lol. If it' s necessary, I think every mountain range has a couple people who' ll pack it out with horses for ya, but it won' t be real cheap. Packin one out makes hunting with friends really worth it!
