Ive packed out 150lb bear almost two miles by my self, over my shoulder's whole. But it was during the day, add night time and its a totally differant situation. Two guys packing would be ok. I would think three guys would be perfect. It all ways helps having someone holding the flashlight if you get stuck packing after dark.

Good on you all for offering to help. :tup:

You'll fit right in then because I've seen very few bears on HuntWa that weren't "400 lbs" :tung:
I still can't figure out why only people who are "6'5" 280 lbs" kill bears. :dunno:
-
Very nice all the help that was offered! :tup: Hope I can find some help when its after sept. 3rd, 100 degrees, and 5 miles in uphill both ways... :chuckle:
-
Should of been carrying a pack to handle a qtr bear and hide..I can take a whole one out in one trip broke down. Doesnt sound like you were prepared!! no flashlights :dunno:
-
Just Heard They Are Back To The Truck. Sounds Like It's Out!
-
congrats.... but really? who hunts in wa without a headlamp, flashlight and xtra batteries. :dunno: :bdid: either way any bear is more than my big 0. pumped to see another 2013 fall bear.
-

Very cool as well seeing so many willing to come help at the drop of a hat. Been there, done that, and would do it again in an instant. It proves humanity has at least a glimmer of hope still :chuckle:
-
Congrats! Very cool so many members came through to help, I like checking in on the thread ICEMAN posted about "Bear Hunters! Don't be shy asking for help locating wounded animals" and seeing everyone volunteering for their areas on there. Awesome people :tup:

Did anyone from the forum show up and help h20 and I were on the way when we got the text that other help was on the way so we turned around.
-
We had friends not from forum help get it out and down to truck . We were loading it into truck and 2 fellas from the forum showed up at the gate to make sure it was out wich was awesome and nice . Ended up hanging out at the house with some beers :IBCOOL:
-
Darn.....Drock and I should have stopped by for a beer and done a little skinning.....
-
Yea ya shoulda ! Haha next time :)
-
I think it was pretty late by the time they had beers. We should have parked and watched the gate for window smashing sons of beeps to show up.
-
Who from the forum stopped.
-
Good looking bear, congrats!!! :tup:
-
No kidding ... I was nervous about that ... I'm not sure how they got wind of it but they were aware of somone in need of help yankin a bear out . Wanna say his huntwa name was along the likes of bowhunter or sonthing rather

I like the idea of a phone tree. Divide it up into geographical areas and hrs to contact. Send a text or a call if in need of assistance. I am avail in the snohomish area and north.

-
Nice Bear! Congrats and good work to everyone who offered to help! Hope if I get one down this yr and need help someone is willing to assist :-)!!
