    elk pack out

    any legal elk i have a chance at i will kill . Horns are cool and all but there is more to it now than just killing. I guess every one has there reasons and mine have evolved as i have grown older. I was happy it was my biggest mule deer to date and impressing others is not why i hunt.

    elk pack out

    So i figured a picture which really does no justice to how steep it is would help. If we hired a packer they would pack roughly 3/4 of a mile if that back to the trail head. what have most guys yielded for meat seems that 30-35% is the numbers i have seen. So say you get an average bull at...

    Velvet vs. Hard Horned

    elk pack out

    Also its not like i have been sitting on the couch hitting the busch lites and then expecting to jump up and hit the mountains. This has been a year long endeavor since coming home last year of training refining the diet and doing the best i can to physically be ready.

    elk pack out

    I'm thinking 2 trips should be really doable than. Nice part is lows in high 20's that time of year so meat should not spoil. Imagine packing out with Aron Snyder and a couple of the mountain goats he runs with. They have done a elk and camp in one trip a few different times in Colorado.

    elk pack out

    If we had to do it in one I would guess in the 125 ish range which sucks as I did it just to feel it this summer. 90 pounds is kinda the range it goes from hard to complete suck for me. I weighed the packs on a scale to make sure I was not exaggerating. This is with a Kifaru duplex frame and...

    elk pack out

    So since i will be leaving in 49 days (whos keeping track) for another elk hunt this year. When it comes to pack out for guys that have killed do you go heavy and each take a half plus camp and grind it out or go lighter and make multiple trips. Say it is about 5-8 miles through some pretty...
