Title: Hunting success with my brother!
Post by: FireMedic on October 08, 2008, 08:54:51 PM: A couple weeks ago, I took a hike up into the Cascades to a spot that I'd seen bear around, and looked like a perfect spot on the map. Sure enough, there was bear sign everywhere, and I saw 3 bear in about 1/2 hour of being up in the area. So last week I took my brother, and a couple of my friends up to the area. When we got up there, i gave my brother my rifle, and i took the range finder. It didn't take long to find a nice little bear eatting huckleberries up on the hillside. We had time to set up, range it, and my brother made a great shot at a little over 200 yards. :IBCOOL: This is his first big game kill, so it was great to let him get a bear, and to be with him. (he's been in the Marines for 4 years, so hasn't been able to hunt, well, not this kind of hunting anyway ;) ) We spent the rest of the afternoon, skinning, and quartering, and hiking out about 3 miles. It was a great day, and a good hunt. I'd like to get up there again to get a bear myself, but i looks like the snow may keep me from getting back up there. Even if i don't, the'll be there next year.
