Bearpaw Season 2009

[Ripper]

Nice job Mr. and Mrs. Paw. I'm sure something like that does make you feel good. I did an unguided deer hunt with you years ago, and hope come see you again soon. Your hospitality and knowledge are second to none and have not been forgotten.

Good for Dan for fulfilling a dream and good for you and your hounds for making it happen for him. 

That picture of the cat laying in the tree is rally cool!

Bearpaw,  Ya  I went Idaho on my Non-Residence Permit  recently on west side of Lake because East has some Large Pravite property so I went other side, it went okay and Lucky Snow storm HIT perfect day after I arrival.

Caught him and Treed two times and bayed other LONGEST  morning! 


I had great time. Still released all of them. I am looking for NICE Tom to fill my tag. Hopefully next time.

Thanks for the comment ripper, hope to see you again someday, things have only gotten better as the years have gone by, well except for my hair color....

mulehunter sounds like you had an awesome time nonetheless, glad to hear the doggies are gettin it done for you, the big ones are tough to find, but you have the determination and that is what it takes...

houndhunter when are you headed back again, sorry to hear the weather didn't work out, there are way more variables in houndhunting than most people realize...keep us posted...

machias have you had your dogs out yet this winter?

[Machias]

When I did not get drawn for a hound permit I sold both my Leopard Curs to a fella in southern OR.  They have been running bobcats all winter.      I probably won't have any curs till I move over to Idaho.

[bearpaw]

Wow sorry to hear that machias, it's hard to part with good dogs, but I understand you wanting them to be able to hunt, that probably was a good thing to let them go where they can hunt...

[mulehunter]

Machias, I know your heart feel! Remember I talked to you about quitting my dogs soon I found out I drew 2009 Idaho Permit I called and got my dogs back and give refund  money and start run. Again I draw 2010 and my wife too  So I gotta run something more in Idaho. If your not busy welcome to join and take pictures. I hate to be alone in WOOD. My wife hates when I hunt alone most of the times.
I were ALONE whole two half days recently in wood. Amazing thing I cant hear ONE THING but LOVING to hunt Cougars and Bears. I will not let deaf stop me from hunting with dogs.

Bearpaw, Thanks.. I am trying to respect small Cougars and looking for NICE ONE and Full size mounted up on my WALL and will always REMEMBERED!
I love the part of hunting.

Here's an archery antelope video I just put together.

"Warning"
This is my first attempt to put together a youtube video myself. My other viideos were done by someone else.

The live hunt at the end I  videod this year with an inexpensive little camcorder. Well I already can see that has to be upgraded to a better camcorder....

The other hunts and footage were previous years and I just used a little handheld digital camera in movie mode. It actually looks almost as good as the camcorder footage...

I was disappointed in the downloaded quality, it looked better before I downloaded it. I got some inexpensive software to try and it was the same old story, you get what you pay for....

[washelkhntr]

I think it turned out pretty good. 

[Ray]

Neat video. Youtube seems to always mean a loss on the original quality.

[whacker1]

looked pretty good to me.  The last minute was worth waiting for.

[Austrian Hunter]

looked pretty good to me.  The last minute was worth waiting for.

 

[bearpaw]

Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, the last minute is the best, I had to use a lot of photos and footage mixed together to try and tell enough stories to be worth watching. I have a lot of rifle footage and the rifle video will be mostly all live footage, I also have a bunch more archery footage on tapes that i need a mini-dv deck to convert. I'm still hunting till the end of January, so it may take a while to get started and get them done.
