[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 2979074, member: 127412"] I have no issues going deep for game. Here are things that will help: 1. Buy a pack that packs meat well. I use a Mystery Ranch. 2. Use Trekking poles. These are a must in my book. Saves your legs and keeps you from falling over/slipping in snow. Great in dead and down situations too. 3. I have a game cart and ice fishing sleds I will stage and chain up to trees in strategical locations. My awesome pack will get it to the cart or sled for a majority of the miles. Game cart when dry or little snow, ice sled when there’s ample snow. 4. Bring enough rope/chord to hang your meat/quarters. If it’s cold out and you have decent game bags, you can take your time getting it out. Hang them high in bear/wolf country. 5. Get in shape prior to the elk season. Getting in shape during the elk season is a FAIL. 6. Learn how to debone your meat. I don‘t always do this, but it can really help in the steep and deep country. I prefer to keep meat on the bone for aging, but sometimes you just need to drop the weight to get it out. 7. Find someone that will commit to help you if you get an animal down. This may mean you have to give up your secret spot and some meat. Or, help them when they get an animal down. [/QUOTE]
