This is me and my good friend with our guide. We went on a caribou hunt up to the North West Territories last year with Arctic Red River. It was a great hunt and my favorite picture to date.

I might share a few packout photos in this thread because they bring back such fun memories. Here's a big buck on my back, buried in orange hats. What a good day. Took him in Colorado 3 years ago. Seen this big boy on openng day, then again on day two, and then got him on day three. I was sure on a high that day!!!! FUN, FUN, FUN!!!!

This is my 2008 Utah muzzleloader buck. With all of camp, horns, and meat, ready to go for the 3 mile pack back to the truck.

 

[JACO]

I was fortunate enough to harvest this beautiful bull with my bow last season, after my dad called him in to within 15 yards! This picture is one of my all time favorites because it shows me and my dad finally reaping the benefits of a four day track job, and starting the trek up out of this canyon.

It was a steep hike out of the hole we found him in, but I did it with a smile on my face the whole way out, riding high after the best hunt of my life!

Nocked N Loaded

 

[elkhunterUT]

Here is my 2009 Wasatch bull-packing out the head, antlers, and cape. As if this load wasn't already heavy enough on the 2.5 mile packout, right as we began the pack back to camp a downpour of rain started. All that water soaked into the cape and seemed to add another 100 lbs. I would do it again in a heartbeat though - good times

 

[Founder]

More good times. Here's a couple shots of my buddy Paul and I leaving the Wyoming highcountry about 4 years ago. He got himself a fine buck that we had seen while scouting. I wounded and lost one (bummer).
Horses can sure make it easier!!!

The Freak. 17x19 stag buck that I killed in the high country of Nevada. Ugliest 200 inches you will ever see...

High country 4 point. 2007 season...

2006 Utah general season muzzleloader buck. Finally had him officially scored and he grossed 192. I got heat exhaustion packing him out and started throwing up. Had to get my brother to come finish the last part of the pack out. Still a good memory though....

 

[swbuckmaster]

Here is my worst pack out to date. I hiked the hill 6 different times in one day. Once to go up and hunt. Once to come down after the buck was down so I could meet friends at the trail head. We were unprepared with cold weather clothing and no flash light. So I went back down to get the mules. Then it was back up with one of the scariest rides Ive ever been on, total darkness, steep icy trails covered in 2" of fresh snow. All I remember was it was so slick I just held on as tight as I could on my way down. The horses would just sit down on a hind quarter and slide for 20 yards at a time. I'm just glad no one got hurt. When I finally got the buck out I was so exhausted because I had been hiking for over 24 hours straight and could hardly keep my eyes open. What a day!

You don't see this every day! I packed the horns and camp and the goat packed the quarters and back straps.

Best pack mule ever! I don't know how many of Jerry's opening morning hunts Ive ruined with a call over the radio. "I just smoked a big one!"

last but not least. Ive always like how this photo turned out. To me there is nothing better then a big velvet buck on opening day. O and my best pack mule was right there to help with the dirty work again. Thanks Jerry!

Here is my Brothers San Juan LE ELK for the 2008 Hunt Expo. We saw this guy the night before and went back the following morning. Made a 30 min climb in the dark and heard them just going crazy down the ridge at first light as we got to the top. Snuck down close and the herd was being pushed through a grove of aspens as we entered the trees this guy came barreling down right in front of us and stopped at 28 yards. My Bro knocked him down with his 300 Ultra. Tapes out at a gross score of 360!

This Hunt was my OIL Desert Sheep on the Dirty Devil Unit. I drew this with 1 point and on the second morning of a 7 day (planned hunt) I ended a dream. He was deep in the bottom of a Box Canyon that took some time to recover him. We had to come through this tight spot and we had to go back out the same way. It was awesome!

This is where innovative thinking and redneck engineering came together to make the last two miles to the truck nothing but pure enjoyment and satisfaction. To take a thought, put it on paper, build it and have it work better than expected sure makes lifes adventures much more satisfying. And yes, the whole elk is on that cart(except the hide). Boy did I get some funny looks on the way out!!

With deep snow, gravity and good friends, sometimes this is the easiest way to pack a deer out of the bush. Here is my good buddy Steve dragging out my 06 buck.

Here's a packing method I haven't seen posted up yet. I shot this buck in 2004.

The same week I shot this whitetail too. I felt like David Thompson paddling down the river with the whitetail up front.

Here is my favorite packout photo. It also came from my favorite hunt I've ever been on, OIL Henry's Cow Bison from 2009. After hunting very hard that week, things finally came together. It took us two days to get the animal off the mountain, but it was well worth it.

I'm posting these for Jude Tuft.

Jude writes, "The year is 1987. This is how my family packed bucks out for years, and still do when necessary. And yes the women in my family get out and hunt regularly. These pictures take me back to when my Grandad was instilling ethics in all the younger generations. Oh the memories they do mean so much to me and really remind me how detached our younger generations are becoming from hunting. We all need to take a child hunting and fishing more often. Back in these years everyone would tag up and hunt, including Grandma down to the very youngest. Since those years the state has made the family hunt be the spike elk season. A little tougher proposition compared to the buckskins we were packing out over an aspen. I know the one pictures in the bed of a truck, I only added it to honor my Grandma and Grandpa being proud of Gramps last hunt!"

LAST EDITED ON Aug-02-10 AT 09:37PM (MST)[p]I am posting these 5 pictures for GATOR so hope that he gets back in here and tells about the hunt before the time limit is up to edit the post.

It was 09 elk hunt in AZ, we did 4 of 5 we killed 2 5x5 last day and 2 6x6 bulls in like a 4 day late season,the 5th guy passed on some really nice bulls looking for a stud bull he has a 350 class bull on the wall, so it had to be better then that he never pulled the trigger and when home happy it was a good hunt for everyone.
My bull was shot at 80 yds with a Long range 30-378. It was the first time for me in that unit and I think I found a good spot. Had alot of help from MM guys that told me some places to check out and On my way to one of those places, I found a canyon that held 12 bulls and we ended up taking 4 of them. Got love when a plan comes together. Can't wait to draw in AZ again.

[shootinfool]

Here is the deer that I took in Utah in 2009. We hunted hard for 4 long days before we finally scored on this deer for me. I had myself, and three brothers on this hunt with me helping me along the way. When we spotted this deer on the day that i killed it the morning was a rainy and very cold. We spotted it and decided to make our move on this deer. As my brother and I made our plan and started to take the route we had planned to get to our shooting spot the fog rolled in. This deer had bedded on a side of a hill at the edge of about a 15 foot cliff and a very steep hill right above where the fog rolled in. we snuck up to where we wanted to shoot from and set up for the shot and to find where the buck was at. Due to the fog we could not find this deer with the scope or the spotter at the time. My brother and i decided to wait this one out. We sat there for hours on top of this little knole through rain, sleet, and even snow at some points in time. There were several times that we were just about to give up and the fog would lift for just a moment, enough for us to spot the deer and see it was still there, though we couldnt see it well or long enough to get a shot we knew it was still there. Finally the fog started to lift enough for me to get the shot off. The bullet struck high, and the deer jumped up and looked back at us. I fired one more shot and the deer took a nasty flip backwards towards the cliff. As it rolled the horn caught in a dead cedar tree and prevented it from rolling off the cliff and down this very, very steep hill. When we saw the deer was down, the fog rolled back in and we didnt see the animal again till we actually got across the canyon and up the cliffs where this guy was at. Man am i glad that I had so much help for the pack out. This was a great hunt and a great deer to boot!

The best pack out pic I have of this buck is on my cell phone, if I can get it to my computer Ill post it up later. Thanks for looking and Allowing me to share.

My dad taught us to pack meat early in our hunting careers. Here are some packin' pics from 80's. My brother killed both these bucks one year. Notice the high tech backpacks.

Here I am in my teens taking a break from packing out a quarter off my first elk, a late season calf.

Following my father's lead, I have brought my son up in the hunting tradition where a whole lotta hard work makes for some great memories. Here is a clip of my dad's 2008 moose which my son put together. Shows how to get a moose out of a hellhole. My then 12 year old son did 9 trips back to the truck with his pack weighing 40+ pounds each time. A day he got to share with his grandpa which the both of them will never forget.

This is one of my favorites from my 2009 Wyoming bull. That is me with my horse and two mules. You can also see some sheds we found on the lead mule. When I shot that bull I was actually stalking another one and ran into him on accident at the bottom of a drainage. He was bigger than the one I was stalking and already in range so I took him at aboout 80 yards.

[sheepfever]

This is from my 2003 Stone Sheep hunt to B.C. This was the start of my addiction. I went on this hunt with my Dad to try and finish his "Grand Slam". His feet didn't last so I ended up becoming the hunter rather than the packer. The pictures are of our guide carrying my sheep out after less than 24 hours of hunting. I was able to return to B.C. in 2004 with my Dad to help him finish his Slam. I have also been fortunate enough to take all four sheep since then, two in my home state of Utah.

LAST EDITED ON Aug-08-10 AT 04:28PM (MST)[p]2008 Moose, drop hunt in Alaska. Dad shot his 42" 90 minutes into the hunt, I shot a 54" 95 minutes into the hunt. Greatest 95 minutes I have ever had in my life. Only took us 13 years to go through with our plan of hunting Alaska.

We had to go through 2 lakes and some streams to get the boat to the moose but at a couple points we had to get out and drag the boat for a short distance. We also had to go over 2 beaver dams but it was still easier than carrying it over a mile.

2008 Colorado OTC, 6 days after shooting our moose I shot this 5x6 in the first evening of our hunt. Funny thing is, we were not even supposed to be hunting archery elk that year but since we got home early, I couldn't see wasting any leave

[mntman]

I won a tag at the 2007 expo and was able to harvest this 6x6x1. He actually has a 10" beam coming out below his right base. What a great hunt we had there, bad part was that it only lasted two days. Next time we go back, it will last longer ;-)

Was sure glad Dad was there to help and share in the our funniest moment ever hunting. The first night we had a 6x4 chase us off the mountain after dark. He thought we were another bull and wouldn't stop till after we were a good 150-200 yards into the thick nasty brush. Dad was laughing so hard after we got done running wide open through the brush and saying I almost had to waste my tag on that bull in self-defense.
