game sled, roll-up/packable type any good?

With no snow ill put meat on my back 10/10 times. Lighter loads id maybe makes the case for the sled. I took 60% of a cow elk this year plus gear "only day trip gear" in one trip with my stone glacier in the badlands and id do it every time in that situation over a sled. Thats just me though

They have plenty of snow. All quarters off the steep stuff, just a mere 3 miles to go down the creek bottom.

But sleds make you earn each step in front of the other. I'll take a game sled single trek over multi treks to the 2000' camp... Key is hunt higher than the vehicle. Been there, done that multiple occasions in wilderness. Everyone pays in pain hiking solo I simply rather get the pain over in one go. To each their own though.

@Khunter , Did you run rope pully sets off trees down some of those steep contours along approx 2/5th's of that trek or? Looks as you mentioned, steep for a sled full of moose meat!

for that steep open slope off the top, with rock hard frozen quarters, no sled down used bc would have been a rocket down mountain. turned out a daisy chain of quarters being pulled down the slope was controllable versus a rocket ship of a sled.Was not easy as quarters would hang on sage etc at times but beats holding back a freight train from behind

then sled was awesome going out gentle downhill grade out creek bottom

actually paired the j5 (held one quarter) with a jet sled (held two quarters) to maximize each trip with two guys.

I had left for home by time the “easy” sledding started.
