Halloween Bull!

Back at the ATV with load number 2.

We did it all in 2 trips.

First trip: bone-in hind quarters.

Second trip: de-boned front quarters + cape and head.

There was no way to get a horse anywhere near this spot. The nearest spot to get a trailer was 5-6 miles. (The ATV was able to get much closer) ... and the deadfall was in the \"From Hell\" category.

Looking at that pack you got on gives me baseballs in my shoulders!

You DO need a different pack
 
One good thing is the \"bull of the woods\" is now out of the woods... :train: :train:

I\'m sure most of ya are not old enough to remember \"Bull of the Woods\" chewing tobacco... :? :?

Ha! You should\'ve seen my daypack from Saturday. I put a hindquarter on it and made it about a 1/4 mile ... could. not. go. on.

This old Cabelas Alaskan frame was a serious upgrade!

But, you\'re right. I do think it\'s time for me to get a big boy pack, especially if I hunt this spot again. It is a no-go for horses in this area due to several factors.
 
Congratulations John!

It\'s not too difficult to repair a broken antler. If you are taking it to a taxidermist to be mounted or to have him do a European then he can do it but if you are doing it yourself the antler is an easy fix.
 
Well done John. I had a similar feeling when I approached my bill solo. Took my 3 hrs to quarter him by myself. As for a better pack, I highly recommend Exo mountain gear. Just bought one and it handled 100+ lbs on my sheep pack out very well.
 
Well done John! I\'ll bet you can look back now & say it wasn\'t all that bad.. Bet you would do it all over again tomorrow if you had another tag. Congrats!
