Great hunt HFT-
Hides must be nice.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Not the biggest bear in the woods but it will put burgers on the grill smile

I have not gotten a hit this season. Every three days I check the bait and sit a little and do a burn. Walked in tonight, no hit. Set up a burn Baitem 907 Jelly Donut and climbed in the stand.

That was about 7pm. Around 930 I decided to pack things up and head to the house. Had just turned the Thermacell off when I heard a stick break off to my right. I decided to wait a little more and 5 minutes later saw a flash of black in the thicket.

Didnt have a clear shot so I waited. The bear tried to circle behind me but the blown downed spruce trees prevented that. It had no choice but to circle right in front of me. Lights out smile

Got 10 more days for a brownie to walk by......

Be safe out there guys!

Well got invited down to a friends fish camp for a little set netting. Never done it before and they wanted someone that could run a boat so spent 3 days down on the Kasilof chasing reds. Couldn't ask for nicer weather!

The sunset for summer solstice was excellent smile

[Linked Image]

Of course I got to limit out it smile Even though they limited the fishing from 11am to 5pm we managed to get a few smile

[Linked Image]

I been worried this year about the ducks. Normally around June 7 they show up on my pond. Tonight when I got home I glanced down there and sure enough saw a few swimming around smile Was also greeted by a new baby goat and some baby bunnies smile

Be safe out there guys!

Well fish and game opened brown bear season in the unit I hunt to no closed season. To many bears and not enough moose. Tonight I harvested a big old boar and hopefully saved a few moose smile

I am grateful for the friends I have. I made 2 phone calls at midnight and had 2 buddies come and help me get this toad out. That was a chore! Gonna be alot of burger and brats in the freezer smile
