[QUOTE="PiedmontGuy, post: 3294280, member: 31405"] Super fun hunt for me. Carts are almost not usable because of the terrain (just like kwaynem said). You might be able to get a sled to work in some areas. I shot a cow elk last year and was lucky enough the high winds had pushed the elk down in some tight draws by a creek. I was there in January. I described the location to my group leader when I reported my kill and before long I could hear him and another guy hiking in to my spot (I had packed to the nearest road and left TP to mark the trail.) I had shot it where there was some flat land and because it wasn't opening morning, he brought the mule and drove right to my cow elk and we took her out in one piece. Not many other hunters were able to do that though. My brother was my assigned helper but he was busy helping pack out quarters for several other hunters. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation local chapter had 3 people there to help pack out for anyone that needed it. At least they were there on day one. If you ask for volunteers, there's people back in "CAMP" that are chompin at the bit to help someone. The ODWC and Wichita Mntns team also have pack frames for the volunteers. Be sure to request that they bring you one if you get a cow on the ground. [/QUOTE]
