Azbronco96 Report post Posted May 1, 2016 Ok- so we finally got the lion out of the bottom of a pretty steep canyon. I left work Wed @1 pm and headed up the hill to help. Meanwhile my buddy finally got to the lion at the bottom of Naegelin canyon Wed afternoon and gutted it. However even with help from another friend they couldn't get it out of there. Once they got back to the truck- flat tire. Changed the tire- drove back out and we met after dark at the campground but it was too late to do anything else that day. We went and got a room for the night. Thursday morning he went to Show Low to replace the tire- bought some ropes and a pulley block and headed back to the canyon. Two of us took a Teflon plastic sheet and made our way down to the lion. It hadn't been eaten on and since it was cold the meat smelled good. So we strapped the lion in the sheet like a burrito and started out of the canyon with it. We tied a rope to the lion burrito we just made and tied the pulley block to a tree 80 ft or so up the hilland pulled it straight up the hill. Reset the pulley and did it again. 16 times to get that lion out. I figured it was about 1300 ft vertical to get that lion to the top and then another 1/8 mile to the truck. By the time he got it skinned out and to the taxidermist it was about 9 pm. Toughest retrieval I have ever been on by far. No way- no how was it not coming out of there though. I am not the best at posting pics- though I'm told I'm a pretty fair pack mule. 😎 Pics as soon as I can. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector777 Report post Posted May 1, 2016 Did the lion weigh 300 pounds or what? I've seen some pretty dang big cats get packed out of some nasty canyons. With the weather as warm as it was when he killed it I'm surprised it didn't spoil. AND we still want a pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
