« Reply #30 on: April 23, 2010, 04:04:07 AM »
kill a big 1 and remember it is a hunting trip not a camping trip. just focus on the task at hand. :chuckle:
oh trust me. I am hunting not camping.  The first trip was more to learn the area and recon.
now its down to business.
 :rolleyes:

Find the mushooms, and you might find Bears in the bush.  

Remember, survey the bush from an elevated position when at all possible. You're looking for fungus, (mushrooms). While you're exploring the bush(es), Keep an eye on the fringe of the forest for approaching Bears.

It's easier to see Bears in clearcuts!

Yeah, He needs to take the "PICS UPDATED" part out of the subject line.  I was gone for a few days, and damn.. I clicked on this thread to see fur laying all exhausted in the bush(es).

I'm quite dejected.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. 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
