[QUOTE="Ucsdryder, post: 2972684, member: 94543"] When people say this I always wonder how that's possible. 11 miles is 3-4 trips. If you are packed in, which I assume you were, being 11 miles back, that's another trip assuming my camp is 50ish pounds. If you’re day hunting your pack is probably 25ish pounds. Boned out plus the head is 200-240 pounds (raghorn) so add another 25-50 pounds for camp or day camp. So you're talking 55 miles for 3 trips and 66 miles for 4 trips. 33-44 of those miles with 85-100 pounds on your back. I'm not calling anybody a liar because the human body can do awesome things, but I just don't see the logistics of it… I'd love to hear more about it (weight per load, number of trips, camp as well?). Oh and why you'd shoot a 5 point 11 miles from the road! 😂 [/QUOTE]
