[QUOTE="IdahoCTD, post: 1219015, member: 13110"] I packed a boneless 5 point bull out in 2 trips last year by myself. They were not light packs at probably 125+lbs each but it saved me trips. When I was in shape I packed everything but a hind quarter of a spike bull by myself but that was in my 20's, 20 years ago. We shot 3 bulls from the same herd and my buddy had a knife accident the second day so I packed 1.25 elk out in 3 days. Each trip was about 7 miles, mostly down hill. I was ready to be done packing meat at at that point. I had already shot a cow a couple months earlier so I gave half the elk away to some people we met up there. Even with a bone an elk should never be more than 4 trips IMO and 3 should be doable with semi heavy (around 80-90lb) packs. I'd take one hind quarter with a back strap and any neck meat twice and then do both fronts with the horns (if it's a bull). [/QUOTE]
