Squapan Mountain Outfitters - Who's Going?

[IndianaBowman]

Last week while hunting alligators with the Langers I mentioned that my daughter wanted to hunt bears. Wham, bam, and a call to Tony and Bill arranged for Jennifer to hunt bears next week with Tony and Squapan.  I just got off the phone with Tony and Jen is going to be hunting next week. Tony mentioned there will be several TradGangers in camp and I was just wondering who is going and what tips do you have for my 16 year old daughter as a 1st time bear hunter.

I'll be tagging along as a non-hunter who will be filming the hunt for Bill Langer.

We are very excited to be in camp and hunting bears and are very grateful to Tony and Bill.

Good luck to you!

[Big Ed]

You guys will have a blast. You will be in great company!!!

[IndianaBowman]

Curt, I'll be sure to text!  If I get any reception up there I can do a "semi-live" with photos.

Best of luck to you too BMejia.  Is this your first time up? If not, any tips?

Good Luck Jen,

Terry, you better hold the camera still, I dont want to watch the Bear witch project  

Cant wait for pics and stories.

How cool! That girl will get it done. Have fun and be safe guys!

[imskippy]

Nice. Can't wait for that story to surface. Gonna be a good one.

[IndianaBowman]

Thanks everyone!  I too hope Jen has fun and am confident Tony will do all he can to make it a memorable trip! Thanks Tony!

Jen seems to have nerves of steel. She never flinched while shooting the 10' alligator at 3' and put an arrow right between the shoulder blades of a charging wild boar at about 2'. The video of the shot is great. She has been pretty fearless since she was a baby. Hopefully, we'll see how she does with a bear within 15 yards.

Just look at that face. It has killer written all over it!
 

Thanks again everyone and I'll keep everyone posted.

We'd be grateful for any tips you have.

IndianaBowman,
Yes this is my first time going there, first time bait bear hunting anywhere for that matter.

The first week should be a blast. Tony has the Black Widow guys in camp along with a lot of other recurve/longbow hunters.

My daughter starts first grade that week or I certainly would have opted for that week.

Have fun and let us know how you do!

That is awesome Terry!  Good luck to Jen!!!  I really hope you are able to do a semi live report.

[Huntrdfk]

Terry that is great to hear.  I have full confidence that Jen will get the job done if given the chance.......(no pressure there huh Jen?)

[Sean B]

I'll be there the first week myself.  Looking forward to meeting every one.

[IndianaBowman]

Sean, you can't be far from me. I'm in Columbia County and have hunted the Carvel property several times. Have you been to JLMBH?

[HUNT 24/7]

I'll planning to spend a few days in camp, not as a hunter just as a bear tracker, dragger outer, skinner & camera man if anyone needs one. I'm good freinds with Tony & Lynn & recently started shooting a bow & am looking forward to meeting some fellow trad hunters.
 They are first class people & will bend over backwards to make your hunt a great one.

Look forward to meeting you guys & girls
