Sweet jesus did I have a good idea yesterday. That is until I saw what my idea was and would have looked like a fool if I had of backed out.:redface:

I was talking toa farmer buddy of mine who has c ows and seeing how is calvinig season I mentioned that if he happens to have some bad luck and loses a calf here and there then I would be happy to take care of it for him (ie bear bait)

Well, his brother phoned me and said one of his bulls keeled over in the night and he wanted to know if I wanted it for some bait. I said suuuuure I'll be out after supper to get it.:)

Boys, when the farmer said bull I guess I didn't picture what I should have. I drive a 3'4 ton Dodge Deisel which can take a hell of a lot of weight and that bull sucked my truck down about 6 inches (only about 5 really but the extra weight from 3000 flies trying to get up the bulls arse accounted for the other inch).:p

Got it back to a friends farm and sucked it up with a backhoe.

I swear, if we had of thrown this bull into a lake it would have floated on top like a bobber. Did I mention it was 22 above here yesterday?

First stab of the knife and well, the smell was so bad I can't really think of a word to describe it. Of couse I had to stick it beacause it was my idea and after a long

pppppppbbbbbbbhhhhhhhhtttttttttttttsssttttttttttssssssssssssssst :redface:

and my boys roaring at the sounds I managed to cut around the bull and drop the top half to the ground (hard as hell to cut for a long period of time when you are holding your breath)

Riden got his chainsaw out and we cut the back half into quarters and we had to leave the rest for the yotes.

Between the smell, the 400 species of blood bugs coming from all directions and the skeeters (the size of choppers) we had no choice but to take the back half for our bait and leave the rest.

The bull wieghed around 1700 lbs (no pics sorry)

My hands still smell so bad I had a hard time eating my breakfast.:eek:

When I get the 1/4 out to the bait I'll get some pics and post them

Dam, the things I do in the name of hunting:D

A couple years ago we used a cow that had died while calving...it was pain in the A$$ to get out there, but it worked well.

I know a guy that had a horse with bone growth problems so bad It could bareley walk. He took it out to his stand and shot it there...they coyotes had it picked clean in 3 days.

Tha's a good idea shootining where he wanted to put it.

Our stand is 7 miles in the bush. Dragging the bull wasn't an option:p

Ok it was an option but a helicopter drop would have been easier.:D

I think I'm going to cable the 1/4 to a tree. They can chew on it but not take off with it.
 
LMAO...........HAhahahahahahahahahaha

Now that was funny. Poor Riden, he was the one who got to cut it up. Oh man.........:D
 
Best bear bait available - day old Timmies donuts covered in molasses.

We collected almost 200lbs of donuts in a few days from the stores close to my place. Just ask the manager, and I'm sure they'll leave a whoooole bunch for you!
 
I did some Moose hunting with a guy who was a bear guide for the season and he said he used meat to draw them in and then switched to buns once they were hitting because they would burn off the carbs of the buns and come back like clockwork.

I once cut up a dead whale in the arctic- polar bears come running- there is a sample kit sitting on the arctic coast that I left as I scampered back to my chopper. When I stuck my knife in the whale the gas would have knocked you down and bears love that stuff!

I was doing some head shaking through the whole thing. How much work is it to collect donuts???????


It was right about when Sally started wretching, that I figured I better help him out. Against my better judgement though.

LOL

That's a lot of work to make the donuts and let them go bad for a day.

But then again, I did just take a the grossest cow know to the civilized world apart so making doghnuts to take out doesn't seem all that crazy:p

Ha,ha
