Interesting post Trapper7. I've never weighed any of my Elk, but I promise you, by the time you pack out one hind quarter (on your back) you'll swear they weigh 1,000 lbs..lol. Packing out with Horses and Mules is no free ride either. Sometimes you have a pack animal that just don't kinder to the smell, and once had a Mule that was cool unless an antler poked him. Then all hell would break lose. Needless to say, my Guide had my elk rack tied very securely and all points were covered and padded. Ride went smooth....that day. Good hunting, grayghost
