My Dad's First!

[Jeremy S]

I've been on the forum for years but recently changed my screen name from frogger to Jeremy S. My father has always wanted an opportunity at a bear but hasn't had the available time to do a spot and stock trip. I considered taking him on a guided trip over bait but once I calculated the cost of him hunting with me as a guest, I decided I would give it a go myself. I made the commute for 7 consecutive weekends from south of Seattle to Northern Idaho to maintain the bait and scheduled the best weekend for him once I had a couple bears coming in on the regular and he had his first oppourtunity ever!  I documented my adventure and put it up on YouTube. Check out the video and please share and repost on social media if you enjoy it. Thanks all.

Congrats to you and your dad! That's a lot of driving on your part, over to Idaho and back every weekend.

Agreed. I tried to drive late nights when possible to avoid traffic and truck camped to cut down on lodging expenses. I felt passionate about setting him up though so it felt worth while.

Nice bear!  Good on you for setting you dad up like that.  Lol, I don't know how your dad goes back to playing pinochle after the shot, I'd be shaking like a leaf in a tree:)
