Well I got back from AK this a.m. Had a great hunt and hope to be able to aford to do it again someday. I dropped my bull on the 2nd morning of my hunt. It was a bit over a mile from camp. My buddy, the guide, and I packed it back to camp. It took us a total of 9 packs to finish the job. Ended up with 638# of meat at the locker, and of course we ate both tenderloins and a back strap at camp. The rack measures 65.5" wide with 4 brow points on one side and 6 on the other. Thankfully the walking wasn't bad for packin' meat. We had the job done by 7:30 the same day that I shot it. I packed the antlers, and it felt good to do it!!

It gives me a great since of accomplishment after packing this critter out, and having packed out many elk in the past helped me to prepare for this task.
