Congratulations.

Did they weigh him?

I've never been anywhere where you could get one of those bad boys out without cutting them up into little pieces and pack them out on your back!

It was about 80 degrees out so we didn't weigh him. We were in too big of a hurry to skin, quarter, and ice him down.

Very nice! Congratulations! I have to say, that is the 1st time I see an animal that size hung up whole on a spreader bar. By the looks of the setup it is hanging from, it probably gets used like that often. We always have to quarter up, skin, and then pack out.
