For you guys that want to know how and why we took him out whole.......We rolled him down the mountain about 200 yards and stopped him on a step embankment located on a skidder trail. We took some pics and I backed up my 4-wheeler (Honda Foreman 450) and decided that it wasn't going to be big enough so we decided to use the back rack on the Arctic Cat. Since there was a gap between the hillside and the rack, I placed logs from the hill onto the rack and we rolled him onto the 4 wheeler. We secured him with tie downs, rope and bungee cords and then we got him off the mountain back to base camp.
From there we rolled him off the 4-wheeler onto the tarp, took some pics, and then full body skinned him for a standing mount. We took the nice clean quarters, backstrap, cape, etc. and put them directly on ice, loaded the carcass back onto the 4-wheeler and drove it back into the timber where we cut out the liver and checked the stomach contents. Nice clean job with direct access to ice and cold refreshments :)

Grats again man. Very cool bear.

Wish I had a pic of the bear tied on the rack of the 4-wheeler. Between the bear and the large individual driving the machine, it looked like the rear wheels were gonna come off :o

You didn't even have to help pack this one out! Hopefully I'll need you again this Spring though.
