[QUOTE="Josebigsky, post: 1535143, member: 67661"] I live in MT and am 57. In the last 10 years my hunting partner and I have been blessed to take 8 bulls. All 8 of these bulls were shot a little over 3 miles from the closest road. We use a combo of one wheeled game carts and backpacks. My hunting partner and I own two, one wheeled game carts. Both are homemade. One is made of aluminum and one is made of steel piping. I recently purchased a new one from PackWheel. You can google that one. Looks like a great concept with good reviews. On packs I prefer Mystery Ranch. One of the only pack suppliers who outfit our nations elite military units. They don’t mess around with skimpy material. I have personally carried 90 lb packs of boned out elk meat with their Crew Cab pack and a newer version of the pack. My advice, find a good hunting partner, get in shape, buy the best equipment you can afford then get in the woods. Hunt where people won’t go because it’s too steep, or too far. We don’t pack out bones. They are roughly 50% of the weight. Our boned out bulls this year weighed 230 and 237. We don’t pack hides, we take off the skulls at the last joint on the neck. All of this can be done with a knife. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
