Default 2013 Deer Hunt!! Picture of Black Bear in Den!

Hey Guys and Gals

So another season come and gone. I did not have as busy a hunting season as last year, however I had a great Deer hunt this week with my friends and family.

I started the ball rolling with this WTD, he is by no means my biggest but it was cool to see him head down chasing a doe across a cutline. I had a split second to decide and he looked good enough for me to pull the trigger.



The next morning we went to our favourite rattling line and ended up stirring up quite the frenzie of activity. We counted 7 bucks chasing a round a few does, within 20 minutes. My buddy decided that he liked this nice deer. he has some good mass on him.



My youngest Owen had fun helping the boys with the skinning and butchering



The next morning we decided to go for a walk and push a patch of bush for my other buddy who still had a tag. A little spiker ran out and at the end of the bush i noticed a den with some recent activity around it. I looked around and saw that there were some bear tracks in the snow. My father in law and I were the ones pushing and we did not have our guns with us. My father in law decided that it would be cool to try and get a picture so he put his camera down the opening and snapped a shot. Once the flash went off he saw the muzzle of a black bear staring at us.... Thats when we got out of there asap lol

once were were far enough away form the den we checked his phone and the photo was pretty cool. We laughed laughed the whole way back !!



So it was another great year in the bush. Cant wait for next year already! I will have another sheep tag in my pocket!!

Looks like he has a blanket rolled up in the back of the den, waiting for it to get cold.
