Hunting with Mike

This is Randy and his son Justin from last year.  Randy tagged his bear on Sept 11th with Justin doing the video.  This year Justin drew a  permit and Randy is on the camera.

I just got off the phone with them, and what a report they had.  There were 9 bear in their bait last evening, and they got it all on film.  The first bear showed up around 6:00p.m. and was estimated at about 120 pounds.  A second lone bear arrived after the first one left, and he also was on the smaller side.  Around 7:30 a nice sow came in with three cubs, and just before dark another sow arrived with two cubs in tow.  Randy said it was the most exciting evening he ever spent in the woods.  They are having great weather and Justin is fired up for this evenings hunt.

Brother Darryl and his boy Derek had a yearling come in early, and after he left the bait was over-run by raccoons.  He said there were close to 30 of them in the bait.  That could be a problem, since the other two baits have dried up, and haven’t been hit in several days.  It doesn’t take long for your fortunes to change when your invading natures territory.

I told them to call me if they hang one on the pole this evening.  Both nephews are using their bows, so the bear have to be close.  Usually shots are 20 yards or less.  I’ll keep this blog up to date as I get info from them.  Man I wish I was there!

Take a few minutes and remember the hero’s of 9/11 and all the loved ones lost on this day 8 years ago.  There is forever a VOID in all our hearts, as humanity was diminished and deemed unworthy by a group that puts no value on life.  They can kill the flesh, but the Spirit can’t be harmed!

Mike
