I always wanted to have a tanned elk hide. But I've never wanted to pack one out. I've taken capes out, but not a full hide.
It's actually fairly straightforward and easy while they are laying on the ground and you are cutting it up for processing. Instead of making a cut up the back, you do it along the belly side and inside of the legs.Skinning an elk sounds like a lot of extra work, especially if you're very far from the truck.
If I could drive out and load it whole... maybe.
