First Loads of Meat in 2011!!!!!

[thecrittergitter]

Well, batteries went dead in camera so the only pics i really have are of the head Got a call from a buddy the other day trying to gather help for a late night pack of a Montana Bison! Was pretty cool! Glad it was a cow, holy crap those things are HEAVY! Figured i would share the pics, it probably will be a long azz time before i get to pack another Buff head in my MR. He shot it at 4 pm about a mile from the road, finally finished up at 3 am. Snow was about 3' deep so any packing without snowshoes wasn't even possible.
we were able to do a lot of the work with snowmobile but there were some areas that wasn't an option either. Pretty neat though. The guy that shot it actually waded across the river to shoot it in just his skibbies BURR!!!

I know a beatle guy in belgrade if he is looking for someone to clean that skull up for him.

Cool pics, and good for you helping out a guy.

 

[thecrittergitter]

Diesel,
Thanks, it sounded like he had someone lined out for a euro already.

TCG, that's damn cool. How much did your freaking pack weigh?

 

[thecrittergitter]

I can tell you that head was HEAVY! but paled in comparison to the prior load. Packed a rear quarter with bone in. I'm guessing that one was an easy 130 lbs. Glad i didn't have a long azz ways to go with it

Packing out a bison head and meat is truly an outdoor adventure and one to cherish.

 

[elk_hunter]

You MT boys are animals. You guys stuff so much weight in your packs, it's unreal. Sounds like a cool adventure - definitely better than sleeping on the couch!
