Pack out day did not mean sleep-in day. We were up at 4:00. These guys were going to have one afternoon and evening at base camp, sleeping in real beds for a night, before packing in four more bowhunters the following day...and they wanted to make the most of it.
I packed what was left of my gear in the dark and had a rather leisurely morning, helping out where I could as the crew went to work. Sam caped my bull and Cody went to retrieve the meat from the meat pole while Derek and I helped Heath load mules. The antlers went on last, and with that, we were ready to ride.
