This was my first and only Spring Bear. He was the third one I saw that day. I hit him he ran to timber, I went in after him but couldn’t find him at first. There was a lot of down fall I moved under a large fir to go around a log pile and a chunk of bark hit me in the head.

The Bear was 30 ft up the tree. I backed up to get a better shot with my pump 30 o6. He started huffing and coming down the tree towards me. At about 10 ft from the ground and 30 ft away I drilled him in the shoulder.

He continued down, as I backed up I short shucked my rifle and jammed it. I was about to go to my hand gun when he landed on a down log and took off out of site. I cleared the rifle and my pants. About that time a friend and his brother showed up. Help me look.

I found him dead about 100 ft away. They drug him to the road for me.

I need to get one of those sleds. I find bears and game carts are very difficult to use solo.

Yeah we use it more than you think. Double as a stretcher, wood hauler around camp, decoy hauler, floats, truck organizer, dog bed, real handy.
Don’t buy a real big one.

What size is yours? As long as it can hold a 300# bear

About 42 inches, 8 inch deep.
I modified it some. Put new rope on it run around the back.
Drilled holes around lips to hook rubber bungees to secure load.

Just the selected or not selected.
I'd be happy to see not selected right now.
Others are having fun.
