I hunted the flattops last year and before my hunt I called a handful of outfitters in my unit to ask about packing an elk out. Most of them were around $300-$350.
Sea to Summit Talus 23* Long bag. Left Zip. 78”. 2lbs 3oz. Used one trip. Includes compression sack, storage bag, and laundry bag. $100 shipped
Sea to Summit Comfort plus insulated mat. Regular length. 72” x 21.5”. R-value 5.0. 2-1/2” thick. 27.7 oz. Used one trip, includes original package...
Those comments are ridiculous! I just hope my wife doesn't see this before we leave next Wednesday to go scouting out there. There's no way id get her to hike in and spend the night in the back country!
I always wore Danners and thought they were a great boot until about a year ago. I bought a pair of Kenetrek mountain extremes at a RMEF dinner and absolutely love them. id have a hard time going back to the Danners now
No problem, I talked with 4 different outfitters that were willing to help me pack out an elk if I need it. They were all between $250-$350. Which is nice to have as a backup plan especially if you plan to go 7 miles in
If you are looking for a packer call the forest service office for that area and they will send you a list of all of the outfitters permitted for the area you plan to hunt. I'm currently planning a hunt for the unit next to you and the office in Yampa sent me an email with all the names...
