RE: Field Dressing Using The " Alaskan" Method
BJ,
Tenderloins are out, although it is a learning experience and a tight little fit. I got a lot of pictures of the horse packing out the spike camp in one load, but I' ll have to dig around to see if there is any with a " meat" load. Large or small (but not huge - haven' t shot huge) , the elk goes out one to a horse (big horse).
This is the first year we used the Alaskan Method so we had to work down the learning curve.... I' d say an hour and a half (with help) on the first one and 45 minutes (with two hunters) on the last one. Like I said earlier, the elk meat usually hangs in the shade of a tree while we get back to hunting (first day is the best) so loading the load is a seperate trip, but really nothing to it I' d say upon arrival with out a big rack to deal with about 10-15 minutes gets it all loaded up and lash roped down (Bosco/Arizona Hitch).
