Beyond a Stand Up Guy

This past weekend I was up north at Bob Bergeson’s cabin. His girlfriend Michelle had just shot her first bear and there were hugs and high 5’s all around the cabin. A couple of us headed to retrieve the bear while the others went for ice and prepared our celebratory dinner. We all arrived back at the cabin at the same time.

That’s when Bob noticed he missed a call from someone. I won’t go into details, let’s just say this guy wronged Bob on more than one front. After checking his voicemail, he found out this guy was lost in the woods and couldn’t find his way out.

Bob didn’t hesitate. He and Todders loaded up and headed in that direction. I can honestly say, if I was in Bob’s shoes I probably would have left this guy in the woods overnight and told him to call 911. Nope, not Bob. The man has a heart of gold.

They called about 45 minutes later, the fool was found and they were on their way back. The celebratory dinner of elk steak had to wait, but it was still delicious. I’m honored to call Bob my friend.

Shot a bear and ate Elk steaks? And super nice? I didnt know you had such nice friends. Maybe I should stop avoiding you??

Awesome

It has been said they flock together (nice guys that is)

I probably would have helped the guy as well. Not saying that I might have let him sit out there until I was done eating elk steak though
Bob helped me with a few food plot questions this year. Great guy is right on

Love hearing these finds of stories. Sounds like Bob is a hell of a guy and I hope our paths cross some day

Thanks Kooty, I feel so fortunate to call all of the people on IDO my Friends Thanks again to Kooty, Todders and scott Hansen for all the help and understanding that We needed to help someone that was lost in some big woods
Best of all we should be reading some bear hunting reports soon, congrats to Wild Thang and Scott Hansen on shooting a couple of nice bears

Bob is a stand up fella all day every day , and the lost guy is a bad guy in a bad situation . He is a lucky guy to know Bob and after going through the brush in the dark directly to a bait station Bob had not seen in 15 years, I will be lucky to know Bob when I get turned around ! Here’s to good people

Feel-good post that’s dead true. Bob’s helped me out on numerous occasions, with little or no advanced notice. Literally dropped everything to take the time to just talk too. That’s rare these days. Like lots of guys here on the site, I’m happy to be friends with many, and hope to be friends with more.
