| Packing out quarters. What order? |

| Craig:
I drew a pretty good bull tag this year and from looking at maps, talking to people, and my scouting trip. The areas I'm most likely to hunt it would be almost impossible to get a elk out whole. IF i get lucky and get a bull i will need to quarter it up and pack it out. For people that have quartered a bull and packed it out what order did you pack things out. I am guessing the head goes out on the last trip. What about leaving proof of sex attached. Is the head and antlers good enough? I don't have a horse so that option is out. Thanks |

We pack head out first, and hide it... Then take quarters out, hind first as they are the heaviest. |

I usually take the head and hide out while heading back to camp to get my packboard. I then haul the hind quarters out first while I am the freshest as they are the heaviest. Then the front shoulders and the misc meat. If I happen to have my pack frame with me, the misc meat and hide and antlers come out last as I think they are the safest out in the woods, especially where I am usually at. |
