    Applications…Maintaining relationships…It has to be done

    I finally drew a kill my first kill tag and went fullbore at bear. I have lived and breathed bear since February.

    I have made the trek 2 plus hours north well over a dozen times since July 1st. I ran three stations, but only 2 had light activity and one had a shooter we guessed at 225-250.

    Opener came and went with just a smaller bear I passed on laying in the bait for 25-30 minutes. On day 2 I had a bear appear at 60 yds and he made a bee-line checking the wind the whole way. He circled and I knew it was the shooter. At 11 yds he could not handle the Grim Reaper….

    He tipped the scales at 374.5#s and his skull greened at 19.4″. What a great bear!

    It was an awesome experience made possible by the following people:

    Scotty

    Randy

    Isabella

    Steve D

    Steve H

    Lori

    and Cory

    Thank You very much…you all played a role in this!!

    I am thinking waterfowler was in WI as he mentioned the July 1st which is the start of the bait training season in WI. And I could be wrong, I know not MI and could be MN.

    Those are beautiful pictures of a beauty bear. Congrats waterfowler!!!

    Awesome bear looks like you were hunting out of a blind. That’s cool I know my next bear will be from the ground.

    Many congrats! Great to see you thanking those that took a part in the hunt as well. Esp. a multi-year deal like this, it takes some doing. Thanks again for sharing the story!
