Successful bearhunting weekend (even the wife got one!)
« on: September 07, 2010, 05:02:12 PM »
Well, we spent a few days over the weekend doing some bear hunting.
we passed several up, and Shannon almost got a shot at a real nice chocolate boar but he winded us just before she shot.

Thought I should post a few pictures though! :)

The archery bear Jason shot out of a tree stand in a canyon leading to a berry patch.
The other two bears we killed spot and stalk.  We saw a few sows and cubs also, but the area we were in held a lot of bears so we were able to hold out for some nice boars.

Nice bear and nice shots as well!  I'm looking forward to watching last year's moose footage, of Zack's bull, and your buddy's archery bull  moose as well.  I want to see what the hollering was all about, about 300 yards away that 2nd night!!!  Keep up the good work!
