My cousin once hauled a 5x5 bull elk home whole. Strung him up in the barn and spilt his innards into a 20gal plastic mineral lick tub. At which point he figured out he couldn’t lift or move it!

And sometimes necessity is A mother ….. ironbender; Top of the morning to you sir, I trust that you and your fine family are doing well. We're finally getting a good, driving rain here, the first since May I guess, so even though I'm half way out the door to go hunting with our eldest, I'm okay with the downpour as it'll put out a couple of the lingering fires where we're going hunting. I've shown this before, but for those who've not seen it or who get a laugh, this was my buddy in his youth when his pickup and his hunting partner's were both in the shop half apart and well..... it was moose season!!! All the best to you all and good luck on your hunts this fall my friend. Dwayne The most important stuff in life isn't "stuff"

Dragged him with the truck to a pile of rocks set by.people for unloading their rigs. Tied off the line to a boulder, ran it through a ring in the truck bed, and tied it off to the neck. As i drove away it slid into the bed. With quite a bit of jockeying it went in far enough to allow me to point right at the rock and back away. Did it solo and i guess it took an hour or so.

TRnCO; Good afternoon sir, I hope the day is giving you the weather you need and you're well. I am sorry that I can't recall how the two chaps loaded it, but it could well be some rope work like Sitka deer described. They were both skookum boys too and full of vinegar back then, so perhaps it was a bunch of just dragging it up place. The ropes which held it in place are off in the photo, they roped it on with the windows down and then slid into the car through the open windows. That part I recall. Edit - apparently I recalled how the straps were installed incorrectly! Read on!! The interesting part is I first saw that photo at our meat cutter's place back in the mid '80's, but he sold the place in about '88 as we started cutting our own game in '89 as I recall. Anyways, I'd forgotten all about the details but was at buddy's place years later, perhaps a decade or so back and mentioned it. He of course exclaimed, "That was me and R who's moved to the Kootenays! Just a minute, I'll dig out the original for you!" and he did! Sorry I can't be more help on the details, he's in the Yukon right now and I'll try to remember to ask him when I see him next time. All the best. Dwayne Last edited by BC30cal; 09/19/21.

Since I was going off of memory - and it's not what it once was by any stretch anymore - I shall amend my reply to say that there were straps involved and leave it there! I'll absolutely bow to anyone's experience which involved being there and doing that as they say. Some day if you ever drop in on a trip south or north however, I'll add that story to the list of things we need to talk about!!! Thanks for the correction and all the best to you all this week and this season. Dwayne The most important stuff in life isn't "stuff"
