Another Spring Bear Down
At 4:00am the alarm went off but even though I felt disgusting waking up that early, I know that it is the only way I will help my hunting partner be successful. We were hunting locally around the area in which we live, which is a crowded area. I know if we are not finished …
Six Foot Sow to End the Season
I decided to go for an early morning bear hunt locally with a buddy of mine. Wouldn’t you know it, a decent bear crossed the road and ran into a steep ravine at the beginning of the hunt. Of course we got out and pursued the bruin on foot. As we got to the edge …
