No, I have not tried the train to hunt (although I have taken the trip several times) but I have heard it is a pretty good way to get "out there". However, you still have to hike back in the Wilderness and pack him out on your back! After packing a buck over 5 miles out of the Sangres, I decided I want some horses to bring an elk out. We will be camping about 5 miles in on this trip and hunting from there to about 2 miles further out. Sorry, gotta go, gotta start gettin in shape!
