RE: How do you get an elk out of the back country?
Helicopter is the best way I know of getting one out. Next comes ATV, renting a horse if you don' t own one,Llama and then Good old Back in that order...All Kidding aside...if you want to do it best way is to bone the 4 quarters and cut out the tenderloins and neck meat and leave the rest where it sits. You' ll eliminate a lot of scent that way and make a back breaking job a little easier on yourself. Did last bull that way and with a friend did it in 2 trips including the head.
