Dale from Ohio drill a nice bear last night with guide Gilbert, the bear made a run for it and it got dark while looking for it. Gibert called Brian who brought Chewy the Jack Russell blood tracking dog. Chewy found the bear and saved the day! Well done by all!

Late afternoon yesterday Lauren’s husband Daemon dropped his bear, kind of a strawberryish blonde, the pictures make it look darker than it is. He had taken other color bear with us in the past and was very happy with this color phase. They have decided to come back this next winter for our new wolf hunting and trapping adventures. Thanks again to both of you, we look forward to seeing you again this winter!

Three more birds down so far today for hunters from Ohio and Mississippi. The birds are starting to slow down significantly, we are having to work a lot harder for birds now. Its going to be really tough hunting in another week.

The largest bird had 9" beard and 1 3/16 spurs.

Here’s some more birds taken recently.

And the last bird was one of the best of the season, a little over 1” spurs and 9 1/4 beard. This year the spring and the gobble started early and is also dropping off early, I convinced the rest of our hunters to postpone their hunt until next year so they will have a better hunt. Our last hunters didn’t do so well, one got this bird and the other didn’t get a bird so I’m glad the other hunters that were coming decided to wait until next year. It has been a great season with a lot of nice mature birds, but its time to call it a season.

There's always something that happens when it comes to hunting where the game you are after gets the last laugh. One of my hunters had 25 hours into hunting this specific bird the last three days! He was determined to get this bird! Here this bird is this morning, after that hunter has gone home, just strolling around out in the open.
