... got phone call , please bring some rope and help with a Bull that had broken through the ice on a small but deep pond. Threw my 5/8 pull line and a few slings in the truck and headed. On the way I thought shit I should have brought a block or two and mebbee the Tirfor or Lewis Winch. Too late I figured. Arrived to just the Bull's head above water roughly twenty feet from shore. Ice was too rotten to walk on. We tried old school lasso and almost had it around his horns on the first try but it wasn't going to work quickly. I never take my pole gear off the truck and ran back for the hook and extensions. We dropped a loop around his his horns , by that time more help plus the Fire Dept. arrived. We pulled him out and he's cold and stupid but fine.
