Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, could you please walk me through how that’s done?
Run a rope over a nearby tree limb and pull the elk over using your pickup untill he’s beneath the limb. Tie a loop in the rope so that when it is suspended you can use the other end and tie it off to the tree. Tie the middle of the rope to your bumper, back up and suspend it. Use the free end to tie it up. Drive under it, lower it. Tie down and you’re done.
Having two trucks and a couple of 2x4’s makes it a lot easier. Use the 2x4’s to make a ramp into the bed of one truck. Use the other one to pull it in.
You never replied so when I saw this I thought of you.
Marauding bear meets its match in woman, 87

“You know, a bear is something you can’t play with,” says 87-year-old Cecilia Smith, but last week, a bear on the Northern Peninsula learned that the Hawke’s Bay, N.L., woman wasn’t something to play with either.
Smith suspected that a bear was coming around her cabin. Concerned about the safety of herself and her property, she set a bear snare.
When she returned last week she found a 200-kilogram black bear waiting for her in the trap.
The longtime hunter, of everything from beaver and coyote to moose and caribou, immediately shot the bear.
Catching the bear was the easy part, she said. The real problem was getting the dead bear into the truck with the help of her 81-year-old husband.
“We tied a rope on it, and I couldn’t get it out, so I went up in a tree and I hooked it around some limbs on a big spruce there, and he backed the truck right in under the tree for me, and I lowered it down in the truck,” she explained.
Smith and her husband first told neighbours in Hawkes Bay that they’d grabbed the bear by its four paws and swung it into the truck.
“There’s people still think today that’s the way we loaded it,” she said.
