How far in do you go? How far out would you pack one?

the farthest pack job I've done was on my largest mulie buck {175 3/8} to date 27 miles.My farthest elk was 5 miles.

I can usually find elk within 6-10 miles and I debone and get it it out in 2-3 trips. If it is hot out I will submerge the meat in a stream. that usually cools it down very fast and keeps the flies off. i try to leave the hide on if submerging in water. i have also de-boned and put the meat in 2 gal. Ziplocks and then submerged it in a stream. This worked well.
