Ohhhh wow! Fortunately, I must have been out hunting when that pic was taken. Is that a smile or a grimace on Bowdoc's face?
I have been trying to find the time to read through the thread here, but between work an our weekend power outages, I guess I will have to catch up later.
A super big thank you to Tom, Bowdow and everyone attending Bear Quest. This was my 5th straight year on BQ and if anyone is thinking about making this hunt, do yourself a favor and just sign up. You won't find a better time anywhere!
The bears I brought home were all on video, but the opportunities were there. I moved to the Resurrection stand after Pierre's encounter and there I hunted for the remainder of the week. No bears on my first evening, but at least 1 bear was seen each of my remaining sits. The first bear I saw seen on Tuesday evening proved to be my biggest for the week. At the time, I estimated 180-200 lbs..broadside at 8 yards. Given Fred's encounter the prior week, I wasn't too anxious to take the shot, but if that bear proceeded 5 more feet, I might have reconsidered. Instead the bear made the decision for me as he turned and walked dead away. If the truth be known, as that bear walked off I realized I just let a really good bear walk. Over the next few days, I determined that my field judging skills were off and that bear was probably in the 250 lb range, or bigger. The remainder of the week I was visited by smaller bears, but big ones never made an appearance. It was a great week!
Below is a short clip of a smaller bear I was protecting from expired hostess cakes.
