Copalis Bear
« on: May 20, 2009, 08:02:51 PM »
Got my spring bear on Tuesday.  Not the biggest bear in the woods but o well.  Now we need to get my hunting partners bear.  So the best thing about It is I  still get to go hunting and help him out.  Would like to say thanks to Scroder for all his help.  Everyone need to have a hunting partner like him.  I had a bad opps when gutting out my bear and cut my finger pretty bad :bash:. :DOH:   So he finnished gutting it and packed the whole thing out for me :bow:

Very nice bear, and hope you and your finger have a speedy recovery. Sucks when you are in the woods and that happens, I did it while skinning out a moose...

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
