[QUOTE="WildcatB, post: 289926, member: 10379"] I bone them out. I have a Kifaru Freighter that carries more than my knee's will handle. If I had to buy a new pack today, I'd get an Eberlestock J104. They are very comfortable and hold lots of meat. Both packs will handle an entire boned out mule deer in one load. You'll have to take 4-6 trips if you kill an Elk solo (not easy, not fun and not recommended). Where I live (Nevada) it's illegal to take the choice cuts and horns and leave the rest. I think most states have similar laws. If it's too late to pack it out or will take more than one trip, put your coat or shirt on the carcass to keep the lions & coyotes away. If it's warm, be careful. It's easy to ruin the meat. Don't kill something in the backcountry if you can't get it out before it goes bad. Paul [/QUOTE]
