After deciding to haul the elk out using an ATV, Leon is able to get down the top of the mountain to an old logging road. But when they realize the elk is too heavy to lift into the truck, Leon comes up with a fast (and slightly risky) plan to drive the elk-loaded ATV up a steep hill to try to match the trucks tailgate height.
