tracker12,
Excuse the high jack, but I too am looking for a packer. The few elk I have killed have a tendency to die in bad places far from the truck. My tag is for a unit 40 rifle hunt. I'm 67 and plan to hunt on my own. If successful, the option to utilize a packer (with pack string) to haul out a bull sounds like a golden Idea. Aren't they all permitted by the US Forest Service?
