Also,when hunting east slope Rockies is it more uphill or downhill,I'm pretty good at stumbling downhill but again,I get winded with 50m of altitude increase,so I figger if I can drag my fatass uphill to find a sheep then packing it out downhill should be a breeze.
Also,how much meat am I required to salvage?Can I eat most of a ram in 2-3 days?Cant I just pack out horns and cape and say a grizzly ate the rest?

You will smoke more because you will take more breaks climbing the mountain.
You might think it’s easier downhill until you have a full sheep on your back and after a mile your knees are screaming at you WHY!
The biologists say Grizzlies in Alberta are pretty much extinct so if you told F&W a grizz ate your sheep they would know your lying.
