Gutless and hides?

[ArrowForester]

One option I am working on is a man with a couple horses on stand-by. Another option is a little more creative but untested as far as I know, working on it. If nothing pans out I am certainly willing to forego my favorite basin and kill a small cow within a mile or two of the truck. Conditions and timing will dictate as I am not a complete greenhorn. I just haven’t killed my own on a solo trip and am letting my mind wander through the possibilities.

It's not quick solo. I shot a mature bull solo last year 1.5 miles in. Shot him just after legal shooting light. Brought last load of meat out in the dark.

I went and got the hide the next am. 4 trips for the meat, 1 for hide and skull.

Just take the scrotum and get it tanned. Much lighter and a great place to keep your elk ivory

I've been thinking it would be great to have a tanned elk hide. But I didn't know it would be 75ish pounds. Going to have to be close to the car!

Nice! Did they think you odd when you brought that in

Not at all. In fact, Moyles Tannery even has a scrotum tan on their price list
