Demo, that sounds like the last trip we had west of you boys for moose. I never thought a winch could get so much use but with a quarter of meat on each rack and the head on the back your average creek crossing became a survival situation. no room for goofing around. We had some serious hours in before getting back to camp some 30km away, frozen to the core.
And naturally I'd do it again.
I wonder if a heavy rod with a slide hammer type handle would work for those greasy hills. The handle could be use to both put the rod in the ground and take it back out.

Here's the anchor. Arguably the most important thing I take in the bush, next to TP.
Information: It's 34" long, and the teeth are 9".
Due to the angle, they just pull in and hold amazingly well. The only place they don't work so good, is places like that creek, that's all pit-run. Any place else, you can winch. With the handle I put on it, when you're done, you just pull it out. Comes out like nothing.
I don't leave on a hunting trip without it!
Everybody should have one...

Great story + great pic's = Awesome thread!!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Here's the anchor.
Crimony! If you had forgotten your ammo you could tie that to the bear and get back from town and find him still there.
Short of using a BIG boat anchor things would be dicey on smooth rock.

5 star thread man! Makes me want to get out there myself before our guys lose all their hair.

Nice bear. I thought the one I saw last night was big but it was nowhere near the size of that.
Someday I want to hunt bears out west. All the pix posted look bigger than our bears here, although maybe they're bigger if you go deeper in the woods.

Thanks for the great story and pics! Good job and very nice bear, congrats.
We have to pack out all the edible meat by law here in BC too.
You've got my number, man!

Buddy, you'd a loved the trail yesterday... worst I've ever seen it.
When I touched off the .416, I said to myself, "Last moose calf you'll ever eat..."
Awesome hunt story and a nice bear! You got me confused though- you're posing with the wood stocked rifle and supposedly used it to shoot the bear, but after the kill have the dark camo stocked gun in the pics. Whats up?
Gunnutz need gun details!
