[QUOTE="airborneescouter, post: 2972556, member: 128412"] You have to know your body, your willpower and the forecast. Packing game out in the cold/wet at night is awful and can be really dangerous. If you’re not in shape, or even do know your shape, hopefully you anticipate and understand your limitations. Packing elk out sucks but it’s worth it if you don’t die or strain personal relationships as a result. That said I would probably try and stay inside of 3 miles and I’m 38 in fairly good shape. Got through the exo mountain gear workout plan in 4 weeks with a 40/45 lb pack and felt good on the mountain this year and wouldn't want to go much further. You have to figure you’re going a mile per hour packing and it’s going to take you 2 hours to debone and you still need to eat and sleep. I don’t know, people are in crazy shape too but being safe and treating the animal with respect and not wasting any of it to heat/critters/etc is important [/QUOTE]
