EKM,

I have a question. You set up elk camp up in the mountains, say there are only two people in camp. Opening morning you go out and shoot a nice bull say 3-4 miles from camp. How many trips are you going to make to pack the meat and antlers back to camp? How long is this going to take on average.You have no horses. Just 2 people with frame packs. The logistics seem impossible. Also how do you keep the meat from spoiling before getting off the mountain. I know these are dumb questions, but they are the biggest ones keeping me from a do it yourself elk hunt.
