I am wanting to do some hunting out in the Ouachita National Forest. This place has bear.
I was thinking about what I would do if I were to get a deer. and lets just say I was several miles out and got one in the evening and the weather was cool enough.
I was thinking that I might find a tree close by and hang it there overnight. Then set up a hammock near by to camp for the evening. Wake up the next day, quarter it, then pack it out...Let's assume I have some buddies to help me out.
How much danger would I be in with that deer in the tree. Obviously I wouldn't put my hammock in the same tree as the deer. But how far should I stay away and would that pretty much draw every bear near by? Would I be in danger by skinning and quartering out there?
