3 Generation late night pack
« on: August 28, 2024, 08:40:43 AM »
Son calls me late yesterday. Says dad, just killed a nice bear, up in, you know, that nasty brushy canyon we always swear not to hunt again ‘cause it’s so thick, but have pulled probably 25-30 bears out of. Met at trailhead around 9pm. Back, quartered and skinned to truck 1:20’ish.
My son, oldest grandson and I and more memories!
Never hunting that canyon again (yeah, right!😉)

I've heard many of your stories about that canyon.....you always say your never going back!!  I'm starting to think it has a gravitational pull that sucks you guys in year after year!!!   :chuckle: :chuckle:

Love the success pics.  Congrats to the three of you.  Now get back in that canyon and kill a few more bear.   :tup: :chuckle:

Super cool!  :tup:

Looks awesome 👍👍👍

My favorite kind of thread. Well done!!!
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

If you are not willing to die for freedom then take the word out of your vocabulary.

Nice work.

I'll take that canyon if you're done with it.
