We quarter them and or bone them and carry on pack frames. I wouldn't hunt alone for safety sake and the fact that it would take me 2 or 3 days to get an animal out alone where I hunted last year. It is tough, steep terrain and one slip can send an overloaded person down a slide or break an ankle. We took 2 bulls last year about 5 miles back at 11,500 feet and the 5 of us packed them out one each day going in at gray light and not getting out until after dark. A pack team would have been great but we didn't have access to one. I can tell you that it was real hard work but 2 of the most fun filled days in the field possible. 2 years before we took 3 in one day and got them all out on the same day but we weren't that far away from the road. I can say that after you get it all out and are back at the truck beer never tasted so good.
