War on Elk in Montana?
I hear they're starting a new award, the "Montana Slam", awarded to hunters who shoot a general cow elk and doe deer along with 5 more doe B tag deer and 3 more B tag cow elk. You get a pin, a patch and another cow tag of your choice :) -

What would be the best Pack Animal for Backcountry Elk
in northern MN we called giardia 'the drizzlies'. I imagine your horse was a bit put out by the time you had to ditch your britches! -

Thanks, I was only thinking pack animals - goats and llamas don't ride well either though I would love to see someone riding a goat into the mountains :) -

What would be the best Pack Animal for Backcountry Elk

Pus Pockets and the Like
