[QUOTE="Cornbinder57, post: 3085946, member: 90147"] Growing up, we never thought about how far we went in, cause we were always on horseback. If we can get in there the horses will get us out. Here is my dad after a successful day and 6 mile pack out. Up until the past 10 years I had never not taken any animal out whole, elk, deer, antelope. We would just drop a loop on our elk dalles up and out we would come. The down side lost a lot of hair, but cleaned up well when we skinned it. Now with life changes and my good horses all past. My 16 yo son and I did 5 mile pack out with his wilderness buck last year. When we got back to the truck I asked if it was with it for the forked horn he shot, “yes every step” was his response. I’ll do it again and again until I drop dead on the trail just for the time with him and the smile on his face. The only animals I’ve passed on makeing the shot was early season archery elk that there was no possible way to get them out in the 85 degree heat. Lots of good ideas in this post thanking all for sharing. Best of luck with draws in the western states and start planning, hunting season is just around the corner. [/QUOTE]
