Every time I think about hunting a new area I am mindful of my limits for packing out a medium or large elk. I don\'t care how large the antlers are or how big the body, if I can\'t get all of the meat out, in warm weather by myself, I am not going to locate my tree stand out there.
If it is an uphill pack, 30%-40% slope all of the way, 1 mile or maybe 1 1/2 miles is enough. Slightly down hill, or on a good trail, four miles is doable on my own. I expect to be in good shape, but not super.
What do you perceive as your packing limits under these conditions or the ones you hunt?
