Here's a photo of portaging a bear and canoe using a tump line.

Link to the full article online is HERE if anyone is interested. Somehow I can picture Andre Cloutier demonstrating this at the next Killbear Rendezvous.

For Sure! I can see Andre doing this as well! And then some!

Why would i carry the bear? I'd rather ride it home closer to the freezer. You cant leave them near the other animals though, or they tend to escape. That was one smashed up Tremblay though!
