Duck makes some good points. You might pick an area and then hire some one to pack you in by your choice not an outfitters chioce. In Wy if you hunt a wilderness area you need a resident or outfitter to be with you. If you hunt an area out side of a wilderness you can do what ever you want. I pack my elk out each year on my back. About three miles is the furtherest I ever done that trick. I can pack one hind and both back straps in one load, one hind on another and both fronts on another. Takes all day and some times two. But it can be done, just allow time for it. In Wy you only have to take the 4 quarters and the back straps.

Another factor is drawing the tag. Some states you can buy them across the counter but here you have to draw. A cow tag is almost a sure draw though.
