[QUOTE="porkchop401, post: 1060080, member: 29195"] Elk have been in many ways my nemesis, 4 unsuccessful trips, a couple of almost but no cigar. Recently I started quizzing some locals here in rural north LA with excellent track records on elk and there is one common denominator , horses! after talking to these folks they are either camping at the truck and riding out 3-5 miles or packing in 5-15 miles , either way the horse seem to be the difference between the folks that kill almost every year and those like myself that gets an opportunity every so many years. I am sure that this gap is wider for us flatlanders than it is you mountain men . It seems to be the getting in deep where there is little are no hunters and after a few days of hunting they either see even more game pushed in from outlying hunting pressure or they have the mobility to look for greener pastures. I enjoy riding though I have to work up to extended rides and am considering purchasing a mule and possibly a pack mule as well . Your thoughts , thanks Mike [/QUOTE]
