EPIC Bear hunt with my 9yr old Son.
« on: September 04, 2024, 12:25:17 PM »
When Family says they have a bear problem in their Orchard you go.
My son has the bragging rights as his measured 6'5 nose to tale and mine was exactly 6'0.
Looking for a Beetle guy for the skulls if anyone knows of one.

I remember shooting my first bear when I was 12. It's the sort of thing that sticks with you. Core memory. Good job raising him right.

Congrats. Saw the photo in the 2024 bears thread and was wondering what the story was.

Great job. Were they both in the orchard at the same time or did they come in one at a time?
