Loading elk whole?

[WAPITIHUNTER]

I can sqaut the weight of a full grown elk so I never have a problem with throwing one up on the shoulders and hiking out and hucking it into the back of a pickup

And that is after shooting it with your Monster with a 150lb draw weight.

Sure moss.  Come hunt 249 Alpine with me this year.  I'd love to see you do that

last year was the first year I did not have to bone out an elk, long story short on Nov-11-08 my buddy and I had just left the landing at daylight and slowly worked are way down a well used trail and maybe 1 hour later and 350 yards we stumbled across these two guys and there other two buddy's 2-3x4's 1-5x5 and a spike feeding in front of us at 75yds, the fog was so thick that at first we thought the were stumps until one of them  moved, after the elk feed around for about 5 minutes my buddy was able to get the first clear shot at one of the 3x3, after the shot the elk looked around and ran down hill 25-30yds just out of clear sight and continued to feed finally after 10 or 15 minutes  "the longest 10-15 min of my life" the fog lifted enough I could get a clear shot at the other 3x4 which turned out to be a 4x4, we killed both elk within 30yds of each other and we were able to pull them up to the lading using a snatch block, 125 3/8" cable and 2500lb mule tape, took about 4 hours and 4 guys we were able to pull them just above the landing and back the truck under them and slid them  into the truck, that's TWO ELK WHOLE in the back of my buddies truck. we stopped at the gas station to get food and gas and we were swamped by other hunters that were amazed we had two Elk whole in the back of the truck.

back in 05, i shot a bull on the job, yarded it to the landing, hung it up with the log loader and gutted and skined it all out, and then loaded it on the back of a log truck, hauled it to the mill, mill loader picked it off put in the back of my wifes pickup, she had it cut up for me and when I got home it was in little packages. the easiest bull i ever shot yes, the easiest pack oh hell yes. i guess it was my time because i have had plenty of hard packs.

i am making a cart with old mountain bike parts & wheels soon, i will just roll my first kill to the truck with help form others in the crew i am going to hunt with (family).
the cart should fold to a reasonable width to allow more storage and to stow away in the truck easily.
my welding friend said he will hook me up.
last season i hauled two full elk home in my ranger, it was a load coming back over 90.

Hell yeah!  I had a buddy in Astoria fly a bull in on the rigging, and another in Newport that pulled two twin 4pts in by the necks on his skidder; but none of them went to the mill on a load of logs, hope you got pics.
