[QUOTE="tomsd, post: 2971298, member: 74603"] My God - you guys are "animals". :) Even over 65 years ago in my youth - we usually drove around - with me spotting from the back of our 57 Ford pickup - or when stalking - or even sitting at a "busy" place in the thick timber around Klamath Falls, Ore- we rarely had to haul a Mulie more than a few hundred yards. IF it was really 'narly - our usual hunting partner - a Native American family friend (and a WWII Combat Marine Sniper) and patient of my dad - had some beautiful horses - and he/we could pack it out - but don't remember even having to do that. But there were many more deer then - and Big ones too. We counted by weight (300 lbs was not unusual ss I recall) not points). Anyhow - we didn't have to work as hard back then- and really didn't have many Elk close to town back in those days - but there are more Elk around the Basin now. One guy a few years ago shot a HUGE Elk about 10 miles out of town - "hanging out all over the bed of his pickup" - and think the 7x7 graded out at 406? It was hanging with others in the Big R - until sadly - that store closed down. Also had Antelope in the basin - but I never really hunted them. One farmer used to spray them with his hose - they were so "tame". Too Old Tom in San Diego. :) [/QUOTE]
