[QUOTE="Stk, post: 2971085, member: 98934"] Tough question that depends a lot on terrain and weather. I’ve passed on elk that were too far from the truck or in an area I couldn’t imagine getting them out from. Packing out an elk yourself is tough. I figure at least three trips, maybe four. Tried to do a boned out cow elk in two trips one time…didn’t make it far before I divided it into three loads instead. 3 miles from the truck means six miles round trip. 20+ miles with half of that carrying a full load? Better have a lot of time and a lot of energy. If you can get in on a cart or sled even for half of the pack out, it changes things. [/QUOTE]
