Title: Bear with the boys
Post by: Buck Rub Jr on September 18, 2024, 06:50:50 AM: Momma went out of town yesterday so I loaded up the kiddos and went out to go glass for deer. My 4 year old goes with me all the time but yesterday was the first time my youngest has gone out. Sitting on an old road watching some deer when all of a sudden I picked up a couple bears cruising around 800 yards out. Drove around and eventually cut the distance to 335. Set up for a quick shot and drilled him, watched him run about 10-20 yards and then heard the moans. I then realized I was not in a good situation to try and track a bear in the thick stuff with the kiddos, met a group of folks and they dropped everything they were doing to help me recover the bear. Short track job and rolled him down to the truck. Happy dad moment and a punched tag!

Trying to plant the seed early with these two. My oldest is obsessed with hunting and fishing. Looking forward to all the future adventures. Hope you all have a great season this year!

And it’s the hunt that I just throw together and go for it with the kids , tag filled or not, that make the most fun and memorable
