Re: Fall 2016, Hits & Misses!!

Great season! Enjoyed reading about your hunt. Congrats on your, great chevron on that fella. You'll enjoy the meat. The "smell" is just one of many myths about bears. They are the best wild game meat out there....well, maybe second to elk. lol Great to see you enjoyed the season to the fu...

Re: Bear Season @ the HellBear

Thanks ShawnD.

I made a trip into the camp today and the bear skull shelf is officially full now. We'll have to add a second shelf above this one to accommodate the future bears.

Re: Late Report - Southern Duck Opener

Holding off during those early morning minutes are always a good indicator of the ethics in a hunter. Good stuff bud....a lot cant control themselves before legal time.

Re: Bear Season @ the HellBear

CBB, the only thing we chase with hounds is bunnies and i havent done that in a long time. I do love watching dogs work upland birds too.

There were no cubs either, so I thought it would be a great spot for a snare set up. Got it all set up on Saturday afternoon. Checke...
