Still makes you far short of brilliant, you dress an elk where you kill it, do you have the least bit of an ideal how much an elk weighs? When way off the beaten path, the hunter normally carries out the hind quarters the first trip. But you really shouldn't hunt alone in brown bear country.
"But you really shouldn't hunt alone in brown bear country."
You just proved my point. It was a bone-headed move. You don't have to be brilliant to see that.
I'm sure you know this but even black bears are no fun to wrestle with. As my Wyoming cousins agree with me about our CT bears, "They're bear enough for me"
