My hunting partner and I have killed 5 bulls in this unit. He was always able to rent us horses from family. We even met two really cool guys in there one year who packed us in and out the next year because they didn’t draw. That made our pack outs easy.
This year my other friend drew the unit and wants me to help him because I did not draw elk. He’s retired military and knows what he’s doing back packing. Knowing what your doing back packing doesn’t equal being able to pack out a bull in the Gila Wildernes though.
We’re going to make 4-5 trips this summer to see where the elk are and to see how the water situation is. We will be hitting the the north central part of the unit. The plan during the hunt is to have a trailer around the trail head and to spike camp 4-5 miles in.
Is anyone on here for hire to pack out a downed bull? Can I get a recommendation of a packer that might be able to do it during the first archery season? Thanks.
