[QUOTE="Shane1, post: 800295, member: 30532"] You quarter it into pieces small enough to carry, hind quarter, head and neck, front quarter ect... I guess counting the head that would be 5th's. This is where the work starts my friend. I've packed a 5x6 bull out of the back country alone making 5 trips in and out. You will be thankful you have friends with you to help. Sometimes you'll be lucky enough to drive truck or 4 wheeler close to use it for part of the hauling. You should be able the leave the rib cage just keep evidence of sex the fish cops will need to see that. In Idaho anyway. I'm not sure the rules in Utah. Good luck sounds like you have the basics worked out, you don't have to spend thousands in gear to be successful. The best glass and guns make it a little easier but deff. Not required. Scout a lot and hopefully nobody else your not hunting with shows up to ruin your hunt. So descent shooting gun, good backpack strong enough to haul an elk quarter and your gear, bino's, knife, rangefinder optional you should be able to get close enough it won't matter.snacks and water. Practice a lot with the rifle, scout some more. Mission accomplished. That said if the area your hunting is open enough for shots over 300 yards or so the rangefinder would be a must have, the areas your scouting will answer that. Don't make it to complicated or your pack will weight more then you ha ha. Having fun is more important then sucess you will learn a lot your first trip out. [/QUOTE]
