Alright. Same old story. Im obsessed with going on a CO elk hunt in 2020, but the two guys I'm supposed to go with are already backpeddling/showing little commitment. So I have begun to plan a solo trip as a contingency. It will be my first hunt out west, and my first elk hunt, but I do plan to make at least one scouting trip this year, and hopefully another next summer. I already have all the gear I need, so that isn't a concern. But I am a little concerned about dealing with the meat alone if I am successful. I plan to get in pretty good shape by then, but Im also a flatlander and I dont plan to underestimate the Rocky Mountains. I am toying with the idea of renting a couple of llamas to pack in and out with. I was wondering if anyone here has gone solo with llamas before, and what the pros and cons are for that approach. Obviously, they arent cheap but besides the expense, are there any negatives? Seems like a no brainer having a couple "buddies" there who could haul 75lbs of meat a piece. Thanks in advance.
