Also, every year in PA, there are several 700+ pounders and 800+ pounders are taken from time to time.
I've dragged a 150lb bear up a mountain and we just got a 300lb bear last week on level ground and both were a real pain to get out of the woods.
How do you drag out a 500-800lb bear?
Very slowly...Hope there is snow on the ground and get a lot of friends. Ropes on each leg at least one guy per rope, and one guy manning the head to lift it over logs. Also a few other buddies to carry guns and clear a path helps. We took a 530 lber out this way a few years back about a half a mile to the road. Luckily it was a downhill drag
