Solo in NM 53 MZ - Packer

[elknut]

Hello,

My "mule" or nephew just injured his ankle pretty bad and can barely walk, for sure can't pack. So, looks like I'm heading to 53 MZ Solo in a couple of weeks. I'm 62 and I've packed many an elk out on my own, but well its getter a bit harder each year.

As this has changed my plans I'm open to any last min outfitter cancelations or maybe pre-pay a packer. As a non-res, I've not hunted the unit but I have done my research and will be in the trees on the opening.

I thought its worth a try here for any options - long time MMer.

You won't need a packer for that unit!

Thanks, I booked with an outfitter.

I went with Shiloh Valley Outfitters, had a great hunt with a knowledgeable guide. The unit is steep and rugged but worth the work. Check out my bull with chicken wire head dressing.

Congrats on the bull! I was in there during the 2nd archery and jumped this bull and his herd at night off a road. I could have smoked him in my trucks headlights. Cool that you got a chance to harvest him. I know Erik personally and he runs a great outfit!
