[QUOTE="Elkmen, post: 595831, member: 25688"] My first rule is shoot them first then worry about getting them out. Last falls elk was in 1.5 miles and 900 ft up. GPS miles, I figure three trips per animal. If they are much father you can pack them in stages or if snow, drag parts of them while you carry others. I have found that it usually takes me a lot longer to kill one than pack them out. I really don't consider packing the out a big deal, because the pressure is off, I usually have plenty of time and don't get in a hurry. The longest one in recent years was 4 miles into a wilderness area and 1800 feet up. I brought him out in stages and it took 4 "whole" days [/QUOTE]
