Hey Chet,
My recommendation is you carry the lightest rifle you can shoot straight. Also when trailing elk through timber, short rifle is better than long rifle. Them are large critter, and they don't get smaller when taking them to the truck; dragging isn't usually a good option. Don't hesitate to ask for help. Good luck! |

.........am still thinking about my options should I actually get an elk. I guess I got til mid October to figure it out........
The forest service allows four wheeler retrieval of elk in designated areas, of which many are. One can go off trail, or off road for 1/4 mile to tie onto your elk, and drag it to the road/trail. Access to a machine would be a good thing. |

Well i have one of these Bull Pac Frame that hasn't been used since i left Montana. It worked great when i was a younger man -- probably won't work so good these days. We also have some real nice big heavy game bags, and some rope, that worked good yesteryear.
