horses and big game packing

Recommended Posts

thought i would throw this out early this year in case you wanted to change your hunting/scouting techniques accordingly. I'm offering to haul your camps in/out, and big game packing services with horses. hunt farther from the road, and get away from the croud and find the bigger game with out worring about what you are going to do once its on the ground me and my horses will haul it out for you. I hauled out 1 mule deer, 2 bulls, and 1 cow elk last year. what YOU DO, is harvest the animal and give me a call ASAP, so i can start gathering horses and gear and headed your direction.... while i am doing that YOU dis-embowel the animal, and then quarter it up, then remove any other meat you want, backstraps/lions/neck/rib meat etc.... and bag and pile that in even piles, the four quarters should allready be pretty evenly weighted. Then if you are saving cape or hide, begin to skin that off how you want it ( if you dont know how to field cape the head i can do that for you, but you need to do as much as you can while waiting for me to get there.) I need GOOD directions to you, which may mean you climbing to a nearby hill to see me coming, or meet me up a trail, so we can go back and find your animal. Last year i had a guy that said he was 5-6 miles down a dirt rd south of flag, and a had a little bull down 2 miles form the truck. well it ended up being 23 miles south on a wet/muddy/snowy/nasty rd, pulling a 4 horse trailer..... come on now you can get a little closer then that.... so i do need good directions to you. Then you and i load your animal, and my horses pack it out for you. Price depands on several things of course, location ( how far) and time. 3b/3c and 1 are close to me, the 4's and 27 not to bad.... then the units start getting farther from there.... keep in mind there are some places i can not get to, that you 4 wheeled into with your jeep, pulling a 4 horse trailer is a lot different.... especially in bad snowy weather.... also keep in mind that there are places that you got to while hunting that i can not get to on horse, very steep and rocky is tuff, also very thick stuff that you crawled through.... but generally i can get pretty close with my horses... if you have questions then give me shout. good luck to tag holders.
