Great thread idea!

I'll tag along. I don't have any pack out pics to share, but my grandpa used to breed appaloosa mules for pack strings. I love seeing pictures like this

First photo is my Peaches hunt from 2014.

Second one does not have any animals in it, but this was our pack animal train pulling into camp for our Goat hunt in the ONP in 2020.

The elk got packed out a couple of days before us, so no pack-out pics  :(

What a cool thread!  :tup:

There is just something about pack in/Pack out pictures that hits me, I never get tired of seeing them.
Amazing pictures :hello:

Thank you

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
