i rode my bike up to where i got my bear last year. sure enough, i spotted a bear feeding about 100 yrds below me. i was hesitant to shoot it because its a very steep hill and i was by myself. also, there was only a couple hours left of day light. i decided to check out some other area's nearby but i didnt see anything. i went back up to seen the bear and decided to take him. i drug him for a while but at the rate i was going i wouldnt beable to get him to the road before dark. so i thought that maybe cutting out the rib cage would help make him lighter. it did, but not by much. anyways, long story short. i got him to the bike. i tied his front legs around the front of the bike by the head light, and the back legs to the rear fender. and all i had to tie him up with was 2 pillow cases i keep in my pack. so i then sat on his back and road him home! which sucked... he wasnt very big. probably 175-200..

That is awesome. Congrats. I would have shot also.

What did you shoot him with and how far did he go after the shot?

Congratulations.

I never understood why people haul entire carcasses around. It's a free country though so do what you like best ! Meat in the freezer is a good way to go.

Congrats. That is an awesome story about getting the bear out. I used to have a chevy tracker and I shot a big bodied buck one year that was way to big to fit on the back of it. I wrapped the deer up in a tarp and sat in the back holding on to his antlers and dragging him back through the wheat fields while my buddy drove.

That's exactly what I thought. Good lookin bear, but a pic of you riding your bear/bike would have really been somethin.

Congratulations!

Curly · « **Reply #18 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:11:06 PM »

Here's the pic I thought of when reading the post. The bear would have been better though......

Nice work! 200lbs is a nice bear!

Rob · « **Reply #20 on:** September 01, 2009, 02:22:59 PM »

I think Pat McManus wrote a similar story about a deer and a bicycle... As I recall it woke up and started pedaling!

Glad your bear did not wake up.

Congrats, I would have been "bearly" able to ride the bike

tony04 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 01, 2009, 08:42:30 PM »

well i acually have a pic of it on the bike. my mother inlaw e-mailed it to me today. its not very good though.

i shot him with a 300 win mag and it droped him right then and there. right through lungs and shoulder. with the mid section being gone it acually made a nice saddle to sit in. i had to ride about 20 miles out. and about 3/4 of the way down, the "rope" i had his back legs tied together with, got caught in the sprocket. it damn near pulled the bear and me off of the bike!
