Pack Out

[Rooster1981]

I've packed out a lot of elk with a frame pack. Last year I shot a cow 300 yards up hill from a main road and tried out my new game cart . I cut the cow in half and made two trips. That was a pain in the but, the cart would flip over on ANY uneven ground. It took me and my ten year old daughter four hours to get that elk out. After that pack out I'm going back to a frame pack all the way.

I too am a Bull-Pac guy. They are made for packing meat. I rarely hunt with mine on, as I usually ditch it in the brush and come back for it if we get something down. All my buddies have them too.

Here's another option for getting an elk to the truck using a wheeled mechanism

If you have the pleasure of snow a sled is great. Just strapped my brother and myself to it and hiked 3 miles up hill back to the truck, but 90% of the time it is a pack for me. I end up hunting deep enough into the woods that hiking all the way back to the truck to get a cart isn't worth it when my brother can get an elk out in 1 to 2 trips. Plus exercise is good right?

Bull-pac...the last frame you will ever need.  They are a very solid frame that are built in Idaho.  120lbs packed several miles.

Pack frame...hands down. maybe a cart is good in open country with nice trails, but i have yet to kill an elk in these utopias..lol.

Two years ago I shot an elk while I was standing on a public trail. We used a one wheel game cart to bring the front of the animal out, bones and all. Put the hind quarters in packs. This worked very slick. Unfortunately this was the only bull I have ever seen while on the trail and the cart only works on the trail.

If I am going to use the trail for coming out of the woods for more than a mile or so I will bring the cart up the trail to this point. I will then pack the quarters to the trail and use the cart from there.

The cart I have only works with two guys.
