Title: I'm stronger than Mike Mitten (pg 4 pic added)
Post by: Manitoba Stickflinger on March 01, 2014, 04:16:00 PM
Forgive me for going a bit stir crazy with this never ending winter (-52 last night here) but just thought I'd share with everyone why my feats of strength in the woods out do that of other traditional hunters.

As we all know there are times in the woods when brute strength is a very handy tool, but occasionally someone has that "one upper" story to tell. We've all seen the pic of Mike Mitten carrying out 2 mature deer on his back. (can someone please post that pic?)

What feat can out do Mike's of carrying those 2 deer?

Let me tell you!!!

Carrying Mike out of the woods tops it!

Your feat of strength was much more impressive, since you did it with an .89cent pair of flip flops on.

Mikes arms are bigger than my legs. if you could weather the old brute out the first round my money would be on you....i think if he got his hands on you though youd be bear bait!!

Great replys guys!

I too love the pic where it shows that Mikes arm is bigger around then my head...and I got a big head!

As far as that pack Mike has....it outweighs the 2 deer by a solid 100 pounds. I wouldn't attempt that!!

And the flip flops....$1.12 actually after tax! I'm a little insulted...

BTW...-52 here is -62 in Fahrenheit.

Spring must have come early in Manitoba....here in northern Illinois we must still have about a foot of snow on the ground!

Mike, next time you come to Big Foot Archers, don't expect me to carry you like that.

Question though...is he carrying Mike out of the bush or into the bush?  Oooh geez, never mind...

While it occurs to me that a better question is "how many days (plus or minus 2) in bear camp before the guides start doing this?"  

Future planning is all...as it occurs to me that "A full service guide" may not be what I thought it was  :-)

Yo Bro. I think that equates out to mean you could carry out 4 of those IL dink bucks.

Ry, I don't recall any of this kind of service during my week at Stickflingers. Seems I do recall the flip flops. Only certain men can pull that look off. Honestly I'm worried you might pull a muscle. Maybe you should get a rickshaw that way you could handle two maybe three hunters at a time.

Ryan runs a full service opperation. and its always a lot of fun. However, I am not nearly as intense as Ryan is. Ha! Ha! Just compare our faces. Ha! I have a damaged phrenic nerve which results in a right side diaphragm parallysis. So, Ryan was just helping me conserve by breath.   Mike
