packing our services needed

LAST EDITED ON Jul-08-13 AT 08:55PM (MST)[p]I'm having trouble finding services that may be available in South Western Montana for back country game retrievals. Any one know a contact?

Where at in Southwestern Montana? If you are in the Snowcrest or Gravelly range you could use Upper Canyon Outfitters or Broken Arrow Lodge.

I am talking about those areas.
I have spoken to both those outfitters and unless you're using their full service of packing in they don't do packing out for someone. Any other suggestions? Ideas?
Thank you

Check advantage backcountry outfitters. They are located on the Ledford side of the snowcrest. Layne Wilcox is his name, and I know he has a person hired that just packs out animals. Last year Upper Canyon was advertising game retrieval the first couple weeks of the season....I'm surprised they won't do it for you. Are you planning on hunting the snowcrest side? That side is steep and can be tough, but if you hunt the gravelly side there are only a handful of places that would be more than a couple of hours to get elk out of.

thanks for the lead i spoke to layne wilcox and he got me connected to a woman that will collect game. she cannot assist us in getting there but may be able to next year. moving an elk out was the main thing i was looking for thanks again.
