[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 291932, member: 10391"] I have been backpack hunting my whole life even when packing in with horses it was the use of a backpack that got us up into the high bowls where it’s so rough you just didn’t want the noise or bother of a horse Before we had horses we tried all kinds of wheeled contraptions to get our stuff into a base camp and the game out but nothing worked well except on a really good horse trail that wasn’t too steep. In the rough stuff you would work yourself to death. Bad idea in my opinion. Get a good backpack and equipment that fulfills your needs and go hunting. There is nothing easy about backpack hunting except maybe looking at the maps all summer but in my opinion it’s the most satisfying way to hunt. Learn how to bone an animal out properly and check the regulations in the state in which you will be hunting as to be legal if leaving anything behind such as the ribs. If you hunt mule deer by yourself like most of us and your packing out the meat, cape and horns of a mature buck it will take two trips. If you just load meat and horns and leave the cape and ribs and if it’s not a big buck you can get it in one load not including your base camp stuff. [/QUOTE]
