Knowing how to de-bone and pack an animal out of the woods is an essential skill for the ethical hunter. Most hunters stay close to roads so they can retrieve game more easily. Once you are confident in boning out and packing out game animal, then you can expand the areas where you can hunt.
An average pack load is about 80 pounds. A deer would be one load, and an elk is about five loads. It is always best to hunt uphill so you can pack your game down to the truck.
Check out one of our EatWild Butchering Workshops for a hands on opportunity to learn these skills. View Schedule
