Description
Killing a bull is only half the hunt—the real test begins with the packout. In this episode of Backbone Unlimited, I break down everything you need to know about hauling elk meat off the mountain—mentally, physically, and strategically.
We’ll cover the mental game of embracing the grind, the gear that makes heavy loads possible, how to manage weight and multiple trips, navigating brutal terrain, and staying safe when fatigue sets in. I’ll also share lessons I’ve learned the hard way—mistakes that turned into nightmares, and strategies that made the difference between misery and success.
By the end, you’ll have a blueprint for packouts that keeps you safe, efficient, and relentless in the toughest part of elk hunting. Because the truth is this: the packout isn’t the end of the hunt—it IS the hunt. And how you handle it defines the kind of hunter you really are.
