Pack out pics

[noisy]

My wife packing out a bull elk hind quarter. Wasn't sure she'd be able to do it but she did... 1.5 miles to the truck, tiny step by tiny step. "I don't think I could have carried one pound more," was her final comment.

Cool, pictures. I thought I’d add a few from over the years:

Dad's last deer, taken w the Marlin 444 closest to him on the gunrack.

Raghorns and cows. I wish I had thought to take pictures of all of the animals that I’ve packed out solo.

Just scrolled through this thread. Tons of great pics and memories! I thought I'd post a few just for fun and may post more later.
Sorry if I've posted these elsewhere already, but I had a lot of fun looking back through all of them!
Second one is probably one of my favorite hunting pics ever. This was my second successful Dall Sheep hunt with my BIL (resident) and the weather was tough for a few days. We were determined to find another legal ram and persistence finally paid off . Oh man I'm a lot younger here !

Sometimes it's tempting to carry too much when the pack out is not too far or is mostly downhill, closed road, short on time etc.
It sure makes for nice meat cutting at home though.
Front half (bone in) of an elk. Again much younger .

My Daughters first antelope on a OR youth hunt.

More blasts from the past. A couple more from AK. I actually think one of these is on the way in. We sure needed some advice from these lightweight gear threads . First was a caribou hunt turned grizzly hunt. Second was a sheep hunt turned caribou hunt I believe. I love AK!

A couple bears from OR. One is a fall bear I shot in 2018. The other is my daughters first bear(2017). She wanted to keep the hide for her and we were short on time; so I gutted it and tried it whole. Thank goodness it wasn't too far and luckily in logging country you can walk closed roads most of the way out at times .

My son blew out the thigh of his pants on our trip out with his blacktail, so he just made one time use shorts for the rest of the pack out ! I'd forgot about this one and it made me laugh when I saw it and remembered a great day in the woods!

AK Mt. Goat 2014. We (Me, BIL, Brother ) made it out with two goats and camp. I struggled with my load on this trip. I'd never used walking sticks until this trip and they saved me on the way down the steep faces. My legs felt like wet spaghetti noodles !
