I packed one out 15.2 my last season in WA with a buddy. Scale verified 107 pound pack. Not fun but makes for a helluva story. Felt like a human railroad spike the last few miles

Gotta remember that hunters are no different than any other demographic in America today, a massive percentage of them are idiots lol
