Most live weight in the back of a polaris ranger. Twinbubba's innovative game loading process made me smile. Thought I'd share what innovation and creative thought can do as well. Had a trapper come out to trap some eland off my place. It's a pretty incredible process. We started with a few calves that are now in a zoo in Vietnam. Ended with this 3 yo bull. Polaris beds rotate 90 deg and we did it similar to twinbubbas rig except we had a front winch to help. The word "adventures" is in there for a reason...

Stupid pic and my iPhone. I tried to rotate my phone to see the pic correctly and it turns the pic again. Lol.
Ugh, I need more coffee.
I'm surprised the tailgate is still on there.

I hauled at a whole oryx on a four wheeler on one of the off range hunts in New Mexico. It was definitely a rodeo.
You did what?

Ever use Keith and Wade on your Chopper and catching I don't think so. This trapper brought his own chopper pilot. Here are some more pics hopefully upright... A couple more pics of the bull in the back of the polaris. Another bull that was broomed off. Not sure what he did but he screwed them up pretty good. Here's the kids who are in Vietnam now. Wonder what they thought about the flight??

One of the Raz young men from Harper was the one who knew we could get that big bull in the bed of that polaris. We hauled a trailer to most of the others but that bull was in some thick stuff we couldn't get near with a trailer. They had a chopper, two 4 wheelers and my little ranger. The chopper would net them and those kids (including one of the trappers sons) would haul azz to where the animal was. They ALWAYS had it hog tied by the time I got there. It was one of my most interesting days on the ranch. And that trappers son was an awesome kid. I was worried more for him than his dad was. Evidently he does this all the time. But I was nervous until the last animal was on the trailer.
