Got a phone call a couple hours ago to help drag one out. Before I got there it was confirmed that the bear was dead, so I was comfortable bringing one of the boys. Emmett was a big help running the light and giving dragging and lifting instructions. [Linked Image]

Lucky that the bear was dead or that little guy would have gone in for some hand to hand combat.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I'm glad you saw this post. Emmett said "Make sure you send my friend Rob a picture of me with my bear".

I never understood dragging a bear. They are the most un-cooperative sack of dead there is. On the other hand, I have skinned and quartered dozens and hauled them out on my back. A few more, (quite a few more, actually), have been heaved into various boats. Wouldn't think of dragging a bear very far, at all.


Just doing what I want now.

Getting a bear out of the woods & hung up to skin must be tough

He already looks like a top hand. I have little doubt the boy will have many future exploits to rival Jesse Henry and my own (now grown) Clayton Thomas.

that boy is tough if he dragged a bear out in dem shoes

I have to be so carful now not to find the poison ivy it is knee highs for me , then when I see how tore up they get from all the thorns I am glad I did the boots.

It was only about 100 yard drag, otherwise I've quartered plenty of them if the situation dictates it.

Dressed 195. Dragged 100 yards. I gutted it before we hauled it out of there.

He knew we were going into a cedar swamp, and didn't want to flood his boots, or ruin his church shoes. Ended up staying dry after all.

I have a hard enough time translating your English, not even going to attempt your Spanish.
