Copalis Bear
« on: May 20, 2009, 08:02:51 PM »
Got my spring bear on Tuesday.  Not the biggest bear in the woods but o well.  Now we need to get my hunting partners bear.  So the best thing about It is I  still get to go hunting and help him out.  Would like to say thanks to Scroder for all his help.  Everyone need to have a hunting partner like him.  I had a bad opps when gutting out my bear and cut my finger pretty bad :bash:. :DOH:   So he finnished gutting it and packed the whole thing out for me :bow:

Very nice bear, and hope you and your finger have a speedy recovery. Sucks when you are in the woods and that happens, I did it while skinning out a moose...

Nice bear, hope you finger heals.  That's the second bear out of Copalis I have seen taken this year.

Had the same thing. The Dr. called it cellulitis. It spread from the cut to 3 fingers and half my hand before I realized it wasn't going away. I had to get a series of shots over 3 days. He told me that only in recent times would shots help. In the past you had to go to the hospital for a week to flush your system. :yike:

Nice work JackJr. Looks like a dandy to me, any bear is a good bear.

Sorry to hear about your finger. I've heard of some excuses to gettin' out of gutting/packing animals, but slicing a finger is a little extreme!

Glad to hear you got a good hunting partner for packing.....may need him come November!

Good work to both of you.

Well it sounds like when I get mine I'm going to have to do something more drastic than a little nick on the finger to get some help packing. HA! I can hardly wait to get off call and home from Colorado so we can get back down there and finish the second half of our hunt. Nice shooting jack. I've never seen a bear drop so fast.
