We used to pack bears on a pole sometimes, I had a buddy that would tie front and hind feet together and backpack big black bear out.... But he was a logger and a hella lot tougher than me.

Same!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

A buddy and me packed a deer out on a pole for a while then we got tired of it swinging so I packed it out alone
on my shoulders. What a mess
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

if any of you guys have to do it pole style again if you lay your pole on the chest and lash the whole deer to the pole instead of just the feet it won't swing!! It works great for bear, or I really like to use the old army litters , tie the animal to it after you let it in there and pack it out like a wounded comrade  :tup:
my grandpa always said "if it aint broke dont fix it"

Good idea. We were young and full of you know what. After that I saw my dad make a pack out a nice buck by stuffing the front legs thru back hamstring tendon. Then tying the head backwards.

Waiting for someone to post that they once talked a buddy into packing one out on a pole, knowing it would be miserable and that his buddy would just do it himself.

How did you like bringing the deer out on a pole? Only in the movies does that work well. Hauled a wild boar out of a canyon with a friend and learned never, ever, to do that again. Hopefully you didn't have far to go and it wasn't all uphill.
We hauled my sons bear out of a swamp on a pole like that, it was terrible. Works good on a nice flat road, but never again in a swamp!
My Dad always said, " Get a bigger hammer "

That’s a nice Blacktail. Congratulations. I have hauled out a five or six bucks on a pole. I have found if you tie the body right to the pole and tie the head to the pole . You eliminate the swaying and it’s not to bad.
