This was a 17 year old boar. He was weighed on good scales and tipped them to just under 470 pounds. And this was an Early spring bear. Come the fall he would have conseratively weighed 700 lbs ! He net scored 20 4/16 and I have in entered in P & Y. I have arrowed other big boys but he is the biggest.

This particular bear dropped within 100 yards of the logging road we were hunting off. We took an atv in with a trailer behind it and loaded him on.
But you are right.......usually with moose or caribou we have quartered them and humped them out.
One time two of us humped out a bull moose like two miles down to a lakeshore where a float plane could drop in and retrieve it.
Another time we boned out a moose and carried just the meat out and left the carcass. Maybe we didn't do it right or something but I didn't like what I wound up with.
