I haven't found any close enough to rent,central MT.llamas
Wow. I would definitely refer that to your trusted medical professional. You must already be having issues if you have that diagnosis at your age.Future old guy packing out elk. I just found out I have degenerative disk disease in my neck and lower back 35 yrs old, going out for my first elk hunt this fall.
Ouch. It’s a LOT of work as a healthy young person. Might be a thing to try once for you and then go with a guide/horses/friends/llamas in the future. Elk habitat is usually always steep and even a calf is bigger than any whitetail/mule deer/blacktail. Good luck to you!Future old guy packing out elk. I just found out I have degenerative disk disease in my neck and lower back 35 yrs old, going out for my first elk hunt this fall. How hard on the body is it packing out an elk? should I just get a horse?

I've had DDD in my spine for decades, I'm almost 59 now. Was told in 2016 by the neurosurgeon that I needed a 4-level fusion in my neck.......coincidentally after packing out the bull in my avatar. My neck and upper back have been an issue for a long time. Three herniated discs between C4 and C7, all compressing the spinal cord. Another one right in the middle of my back, and a big problem at L4-5 since 2019. I just keep putting off surgeries as long as I can.I just found out I have degenerative disk disease in my neck and lower back 35 yrs old, going out for my first elk hunt this fall.
