[QUOTE="buzz4me2, post: 551126, member: 12040"] I can't blame the guide at all. The guide had an ATV at his elk camp and came down for this hunt. It was never advertised that it would be included in the hunt. I guess you need a class permit to operate one and he did not have one. He had always just packed it or used the game cart in the past. If he would of had one it would have made all the difference in the world. If we had decided to pack it out from the start we would have made it. However once we went for the cart we didn't have time to quarter it up and get the cape, etc. It was one or the other. We rushed the cart down and on one of the wash outs one side came down first and bent the wheel. If that had not happened we would probably have made it to the truck. One thing to clarify is that the site security called in the situation. F&G could have come out but didn't. Site security could have helped or asked F&G to help because of the timing but nobody lent a hand. If we were some jerks that shot an animal at 5:00PM I can see them not wanting to help. However they knew exactly what time I shot that animal because he watched from the road. Then he also knew we were in trouble 1.5 hours later cause he was patrolling the back area and stopped by 3 other times. The hunt was a success, just too many issues if the meat was or is going to be good, would the cape be good, etc. My main thing is the meat. Where else do I ever get to try this meat? Glad things worked out for you Ballistx on your hunt. Thanks Jeff for the info on the bags and shovel. Never heard of that one before and I'll keep it in mind on my future hunts. [/QUOTE]
