Nice job, that's the way I like to recover elk also!

YAHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on a bunch of freezer filler. Meat for the rest of the year! The ABSOLUTELY best part of elk hunting is seeing a full freezer.
By the way, your pack out is really exciting. That is an excellent way to get your trophy out of the woods.

First Elk can give real Elk fever and poor shot choices etc. Glad you did it right....

Congrats!!!! That's a fine specimen there, and will make for a beautifully full freezer.

I'd hunt elk if I could pack it out with a tractor!

Congrats!. But that is almost like cheating on the pack out. You need to do one this way.

a tractor ????? now that's just not fair, My first Elk back in the late 70's was only about 2 miles from camp but it took ALL day to pack it out and I had a Horse. shot it 30 min after sun up then had tried to pack it out with the horse, the horse couldn't carry it. then cut it in 1/2 still to much for the horse, we were in the Missouri breaks in Montana and down in a Ravine my partner and I finally 1/4'd the elk and packed it out on our backs 3 trips packing to camp on foot made for a very long day. we got done well after dark, to tired to eat almost fell asleep standing up.

A buddy of mine who lives in Montana and hunts elk regularly has a loose 'coalition' of friends who, if you kill and elk or a big bear, are 'sworn' to come help with the pack out.
