Went bear hunting for the first time. Sat with my son on his bear over bait a couple years ago and wanted to try hunting with dogs. Had a great time and can’t wait for the first roast

Nice! Congrats, looks like a good hide on that one.

Nice bear still trying to get one myself

Congratulations, that looks great. Hunting over dogs sounds like a fun time.

Nice bear.Congrats

Very cool!

That is a great bear and the hide looks excellant.

Nice. On my bucket list

Sounds like a fun hunt, the work begins when you shoot a bear when its hot out.

Congratulations nice to see people with first bear.

Nothing blacker than a black bear
Nice one , congrats

Congratulations, nice bear, great hide.

Went up to Ashland WI about 18 years ago and I guess quite a few houndsmen would train hounds up there in the summers on the bears - wolves were getting in and shredding hounds.......not pretty. WS then had to go identify the wolf damage. First time in my life I saw a black bear. I was trapping with the local WS technician there and moving around culvert traps. Caught I think 4 bears that day and relocated them, set a few new traps, and ran a few wolf traps on the reservation for a study. Good days work.
2 of my dream hunts would be to see a bear up a tree with hounds under it and a mountain lion treed with dogs. I don't even need to shoot one - I just want to see some hounds tree them......that would make my day!

Happy for You

Nice bear. Good job. Love hearing the hounds.

Outstanding! Congratulations

Nice action!!

Looks stocky looks good.

Congrats.
