No need to sart out with the packboard use the ultraday to haul the first quarter out then go back with a packboard. i have the ultraday pack also it has hauled a few elk quarters out and a few boned out deer with the head and cape

You've stuck an elk quarter on an ultra day?!  :yike: i can barely fit my lunch, knife, water, TP, and jacket! It's such a small pack... I have a hard time envisioning tying a quarter to it!

I've got a hiking bag attached to the packboard and have started populating the pockets with essentials. I've done what I can to quiet the rattles and squeaks, looping paracord through all the pin clips. I need to get game bags loaded up and I may get some straps and buckles, too. It's a welded frame with a shelf, like an alaskan freighter, though not as tall. It's a 70's era pack that my dad has hauled a lot of stuff on. It does have decent shoulder straps and waist belt. Not as fancy as some of the newer stuff, but the one time I used it (to haul out the front half of my first elk - 1.5 year old cow) it worked with minimal problems. I've just never HUNTED with it on.

Thanks for all the ideas! I'll take pics of my hauling out an elk!  :chuckle: :tup:
