[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 473923, member: 21869"] When my kid was 12 he took a 5x5 bull in the M fork of the flathead. This was a park bull that wandered out to the border with some cows. I knew the area well, and thought, float him down river, rather then hike up out of canyon. The bull was one of the biggest bodied I put my knife in. I halved him with my ax, and in the 40 yr. old Avon redshank, he went. This river has class 4 and 5 rapids, but it was fall and running low. When we came to first fall, and I SAW whitewater,I realized we where overloaded. I told my son, if we sink,latch arms around my shoulders and we will head for shore. We hit a big wave and took on alot of water, but made it, that was the worst spot. My son thought it was so cool floating this bull down the canyons. Well we started to hit water that was not deep enough, and I SPENT part of a couple hours flailing around in frigid water. Hardest pack out I have done, was almost hypothermic.I have some good video of the first part of trip:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
