Congrat..am sure your heart will be filled with so much joy..
Ya it takes two (horses or mules) to pack out a elk. When you quartered it you could have made two trips with one pack animal. Beautiful country where you were hunting.a tractor ????? now that's just not fair, My first Elk back in the late 70's was only about 2 miles from camp but it took ALL day to pack it out and I had a Horse. shot it 30 min after sun up then had tried to pack it out with the horse, the horse couldn't carry it. then cut it in 1/2 still to much for the horse, we were in the Missouri breaks in Montana and down in a Ravine my partner and I finally 1/4'd the elk and packed it out on our backs 3 trips packing to camp on foot made for a very long day. we got done well after dark, to tired to eat almost fell asleep standing up.
