Over sized load of Elk

[RoadlessHunter]

I was looking at some old pictures on my backup hard drive and I had almost forgotten about this over sized load of elk.

I wasn't sure the ramp was going to hold. We pulled them up a tree and lowered them down onto the four wheeler. The rest is history.

Lets see some post of your over sized load of game animals.

My son with his Moose (714# dressed weight) loaded in pickup.

In Vermont, they like to take 'em out whole! ;-)

>You guys own knives?




Hahahahaha. My thoughts exactly but the loads make for some great photos and super memories!

I've brought out only 1 cow whole (because I ran into a friend and he and his sons who threw it on), the rest have all been in quarters. Usually the quarters make the first leg of the trip in the backpacks.. then on the quad.

Well done to those who shared pics.

My son, with a bull off a Utah CWMU a few years ago.

Hardly qualifies as whole however. Before we twisted off the legs, this was a pretty much a single directional machine.

Keeping them whole helps keep them clean. The butcher (me) appreciates the effort.

More often than not they come out in much smaller packages but we only field carve them when necessary.

Driving this one up the ramps got a little tense, as I recall. Can image why.

I wish I had a pic. When I lived in Craig I worked for an outfitter. We got a little KIA suv. It had been rolled. We chappoed the back 1/2 made a little bed for it and a cab over roof rack. Added in a set of air bags and a set of 31" tires. One day we had a big group cross across the property and all of out hunters killed elk. We had 7 elk stacked on that little thing. It was amazing.

The late season near Craig, CO can be productive.

Was that spike head shot?

No head shot, we broke his skull plate while dragging him.

Two whole elk loaded on a wheeler...not so "roadless!" Just be a smart A......that is an awesome picture! Thanks for sharing.

I always feel over-loaded with them on my back.

Seeing this post reminded me of a favorite pic off the internet; elk on what looks to be an AMC (hornet? pacer?)

When searching for that one I found this more impressive photo;

Here is a picture of two of the three cows loaded in the back of the truck last year. The last one went on top. The pictures of all three are not as good as this one.

Some of you may have seen them on Facebook

But a High School friend who is big into the outdoors, Found a match set of sheds while Mt Biking a month or so ago. So the photos are of him on his Mt Bike with these sheds. Lets just say you gotta be very careful on that bike ride.
