I have never shot a bear and don't intend to. I have killed almost everything else but bears just don't interest me for some reason. I have been involved with hunts where others have killed a bear and dragging them is not really an easy option. Nothing like a deer and they snag everything out along the woods. When we have a bear that needs to be brought out we either sling it to a pole and get enough help to get it out or put it on a game cart. Here in Vermont there are a lot of bears and when one is taken the animal has to be checked in intact other than the field dressing so quartering and skinning in the field isn't an option.
