Haha, heavy labor is right! Part of what makes each meal that much more special.
Knowing that you not only had to succeed in fair chase on public land, but then had to carry the 600lbs of meat from the kill site to the atv, the atv onto the meat rack (up a ladder, due to bears), the meat rack back onto the atv, the atv into the float plane (this one is the hardest, carrying 125 unwieldy lbs, the one legged big step up out of the water onto the floats, and then down a slippery balance beam that moves with the water, about 6 times), the plane to the truck (balance beam again), the truck to the meat rack, the meat rack to the butchering table, and the butchering table to the freezer. It works every muscle in the body, but it is a very satisfying soreness the next few days.
