Why don't you just take along another hunting partner in addition to the one you have already? That's what i would do if i was in your situation. You have a chance to help someone learn elk hunting in return for their help with packing. Im curious why this solution dosen't interest you. It's won't cost you anything.

I presume you think I know anyone else who elk hunts.The answer is no.

By the way, what the heck does "OT" in your title mean?OT=Off TopicHi Bobcat,A quarter if I shoot the elk, but if my hunting partner gets one, he is not about to part with an elk quarter.That is the reason for the post. He will need a substitute for me to help haul his elk out.Sounds like your partner might want to plan on packing out his own elk without complaining if he's not willing to compliment anyone that helps.I've helped out lots of folks over the years while hunting from packing/draggin, cutting firewood to pulling them out of the ditch when stuck. I've never asked for a dime but to be honest - it bothers me when they don't even offer even a 'Thank You'.You guys read these posts too fast!Let us keep it simple here. There is me and my partner. If either one of us shoots an elk, the other is expected to help in packing it out.Problem. If it is my elk or his elk, I am unable to help pack out the elk.Therefore I was asking what the going rate is for a stranger to do the packing in place of me.Does that help in understanding the situation?It helps us to understand the question but not the situation. Helping your partner is a good thing if you can. Problem is you can't due to no fault of your own. You are not RESPONSIBLE for him and his elk. What if you could not go hunt at all? Would he expect you to arrange for someone to pack your half of his elk meanwhile you were home or in the hospital? Sounds to me like this year you should be responsible solely for any elk you may kill and he should be responsible for any elk he might kill. If he expects help he needs to help make those arrangements and for the compensation of the helper or do it himself.

A quarter of the elk would be good. By the way, what the heck does "OT" in your title mean?

Years ago (93) I was hunting elk with my buddy. Unknown to me, I had a triple hernia from work. I knew it hurt, but I was hunting elk.I ended up shooting a big bull. We went out and got another buddy, my 2 buddies hauled out the whole thing. By the time I had it gutted, I could barely carry out my bow.I had it repaired and was hunting the next year again.BTW, we split the elk by 3rds
brush hunter says...Why don't you get your hernia fixed now? If you do it now you'll be recovered by November.I wish I could get it fixed, but the doctor told me chances of success were a lot less than 50 50.There are other options I plan to take up, but that could take a year.Also, I wish you were around when some years ago, I got lost in a blinding snow storm. I finally came across a road and after about 30 minutes of walking in the dark, a truck came by. The driver said he knew the road my truck was parked on, but he said it would cost me 20 bucks to drive me back to my truck.
