[QUOTE="slas, post: 3049787, member: 39669"] I hunted there last year and had a cow tag, that's the cow in the profile pic. First day I trekked up and down to the point I had blisters, and while on top of a few of those mountains I often wondered what I would do if I took an elk, or more like how in the world I'd get all the meat down the mountain and to the road. I didn't get a chance the first day but early morning second day I took a cow from about 230 yards away, but she ended up falling only 50 yards from the road. I quartered her all up and had all ready to go when the driver came down the road. He pulled his small cart to where I was and we loaded it up and headed back. One of the other hunters took his cow a little further from the road, but the cart the driver had made it there no problem and they loaded his gutted elk whole on the back then into the truck. I considered a cart also but glad I didn't. It's easy to find a good spot not too far from the main road. Don't think just because you're near the road there won't be elk. Some guys, like myself, decided to trek all over the mountains. But others, who just holed up on a hilltop and waited did just as well. Also, there are several guys hanging around the check-in spot that would be glad to help haul out if need be. Many of them just hoping for the chance really. It was a really warm day also so I made sure to get the quartering done and into the game bags as soon as I could. I think it ended up getting up to around 80 that day. I remember sweating like a pig while cleaning. It was a great experience that I enjoyed tremendously. I only wish it wasn't a once in a lifetime thing. Good luck and enjoy the experience. [/QUOTE]
