When hauling an elk out on your back with multiple trips, what have each of you found out is better/faster/easier etc. A or B...?
A: Haul portion of the elk all the way out to the truck...then back in the full distance empty to tke killsite, then repeat.
or.....
B: Haul portions a shorter distance, drop./hang meat, then back to kill site to take out another small load to drop off, then back to killsite etc. Once all meat/horns etc have made it to drop site #1, begin another trip further to truck.
Basically piggybacking smaller trips say 1/3 or 1/4 the distance vs one load all the way out at a time. Is one quicker than another?
Might sound silly and I'm sure theres a mathematical way of seeing which is shorter or longer on miles, but want to hear what you guys have experienced. Thanks!
