    Oh I know. I've skinned and quartered in all kinds of conditions. I hate it when I shoot a bear at last light, but that's often when you spot one.

    I've skinned several by headlight and headlamp on a tarp in the middle of the road after getting the critter up or down to the road. One time it was a 200 yard pull with every rope I had uphill. The rope broke three times and I had to run downhill, find the break, re-attach, pull until it broke again until I finally got the bear up to the road in the pitch dark.

    Congrats on your first animal (bear) and all the work you put into it and taking care of it. Very impressive.

    I used to work in Alberta, Cargill in High River, Lake Side packers in Brooks, Maple Leaf in Lethbridge, I’ve been there, I saw things and how it was professionally done. I also been to Ontario Provincial processing plants, and know how the game animals are processed. But, watching is one thing, doing the job is another thing. I only cut one front quarter through shoulder joint. The neck, the leg and the other shoulder I used a saw. I couldn’t find the joint. Lol
