What a great bunch of photos showing the true nature of the hunt!
Just went through this post and found interesting on how many pack their heads/antlers up or down. Is this a personal choice or does the terrain dictate your options?
I have always pack them antlers/head down, even in the thick stuff.
My buddy just getting back to the lake after a 8 hour pack.
Mine on the pack after the same pack down. We shot two rams in the same drainage. And using Camp Trails packs!
