Well, we can talk about that if I see you in Ohio. I'm always looking for a partner. I hunt solo every other year I use a trailer as a base camp. When I have company I backpack into the wilderness a few miles. I have friends with horses to pack the meat out if it becomes difficult. it is still the most affordable elk hunt around although tags have doubled since I first started traveling there, now $550 for either sex. My friends drive straight through from Erie, passing through Columbus, they could always use another driver/someone to split the gas with.
