solo hunt for mulie

[gutpile]

anybody do a solo hunt for mulie in the high country , and make one trip packing out all meat plus antlers
is that doable ? it seems that it would be to much weight it would be a killer .

That could be a tough one solo if you shot a big muley. Meat and skull/antlers could push 140 plus.

That's what I was thinking , I want to hunt in the alpine but that is going to be to much for me !

Deboned it is doable. Depends how much gear you have/how long you're planning on being in there for.

Go for it man!

Hey gut pile if you need a hunting partner hit me up. I'm always game for a hunt

Been there done that, head,antlers, deboned meat. 130 lbs plus rifle. (Plus 3 days of personal recovery)

Gutpile, the answer largely depends on your physical ability.
I did that once after my kid Brother died of cancer and I will not do it alone again.
There are too many things that can happen both physically and otherwise.
You never know when an extra pair of hands can mean a huge difference between success and failure...

I've done it for both mulie and bear...but I was in excellent shape in those days.
I only brought out the meat though, not the head, antlers, or hide.
I typically carried 75-80lb packs all day, so my legs were muscled and toughened
up for it. I would echo 'kevan', 'Rob', and '264mag' though in that it's not only
borderline in being able to do it, but when carrying more weight then you're used to,
the risk of twisting a knee or ankle, especially in mountainous terrain, is very high.
I had to relay my bear meat out for part of the way because of the ultra steep conditions.
As '264mag' mentioned, de-boning the meat makes a huge difference.

Also depends on your packing skills/experience, fitness, grade of terrain......blowdown......knowledge of best route out,

Pack up camp, stash it, come back in a week or two.
