Book for bear hunters

[antlercarver]

Read Born under a stump by Russ Hulet. Story of Bill Hulet who shoots more than 3500 bears, not a misprint. He works for timber companies where bear are damaging young trees that have been replanted after timber harvest.

Stat I read was just under 3,200 bears, which is still an obscene number. All in a 600 square mile area.
I usually enjoy autobiographies by people that are a bit more ......humble, I guess.

“Born under a stump, suckled on sow bear milk and raised in jail,” he proclaims. “I know every root in these parts, every huckleberry meadow, bee tree, strand of swamp grass and skunk-cabbage patch. To hunt bears, you’ve got to be as tough as a good old bear dog. Well, I’m tough, and I’m the best there is.”

I have his book but can`t find it right now. One story where he was drinking with a bunch guys, being entertained by a dancing hooker and as she came around he touched her bottom with his cigar, She went screaming out and rushed back in with a pistol. As every one was trying to get out, Bill was shot in his calf.

Sounds like a real “upstanding” guy. I’ll skip reading that book, glad he got shot.
