Why didn't I think of that!?
I could have avoided that stupid 2-mile pack out.

What’s wrong with putting a horse halter on it. I know guys that have used them for years. Same for deer.
If your half way cleaver you can make one up out of single piece of rope. Try it up around the back of the head, leave the short end about 18” long, with the long end throw a half hitch around its nose, with the short end, pull the half hitch up to the center of the face and tie it up so it won’t come off and head for the barn.

Are you guys saying I've been doing it wrong? I've only had to quarter and pack 1 of about 16 elk. Shoot them when they are crossing a road! Duh!

I actual prefer to back up to them with a pickup. 
Just sharing a few alternatives I’ve seen or used when circumstances called for it.
My more memorable innovative way to haul elk out was back about 40 years ago. Nine of us kill 6 or 7 yearlying bulls on the Fish Lake Unit. They were all about 500 yard down off the face of the Boobe Hole, “big opening”. We didn’t have any horses.
After huffing and puffing, attempting to haul them all out we came up with a “better way”
Four of us, rolled the elk onto its back, we each cut a suit case type handle into hide on the front shoulders and the rear hind quarters. Two guys went ahead and cleared the deadfall. The four of us just picked them up by the handles cut into the hide and march up the mountain. Numerous trip but in a couple of hours and we had it done.

If it doesn’t work, try a twitch on her nose. Just try to help……..
That’s a fine wife, that’ll drag your elk. She got any sisters?

The same thing happens to me, but it's usually boner pill ads!
