Steve,
Field dressing an animal isn't hard, but now it is environmentally unkind here and you would get fined for doing it. I guess that is why they have just about stopped all hunting in this area, as you sure can't carry a deer or bear 10 miles out of these canyons in a few minutes to get it to a butcher. They used to just leave the uneditable stuff for the coyotes and such.
Tru,
If you really want adventure stop being a wimp and leave the rifle at home. Go Moose hunting with a knife and make it more even.
