One thing I noticed about saddle panniers is they ride low, it would be like carrying five gallon buckets of water. I started tying up the load on each side with a simple basket hitch. These elk quarters were not tied up. In the second photo I tied up the panniers so they ride higher up.
Right on, great video and good looking burro. We had an older Jesus burro that gave up the ghost last winter. Great little burro and nice country down there in New Mexico. Good training on your part for Comet

I hunt whenever we get a good snowstorm or the opening weekend. I’m definitely not in competition with nonresident hunters. I was just saying most resident hunters only hunt weekends due to work. You have to remember 80% of the elk are killed every year by 10-20% of the hunters, read that again...

We have did this several times since the early 2000’s. I built my first log house in eastern Oklahoma with my brothers help in 2001 and lived in it off and on between fieldwork. Had less than 30k in land/720 sq ft cabin.
