Trapping Across America - and bear hunting - 09/10/21 06:51 PM

Jason Houser has a show on the Pursuit Channel called Trapping Across America and he's become a good friend. He drew a Minnesota bear tag this year and was one of the fist people to call and book a hunt with me. He will be airing his hunt on his other TV show Bone Wild, but I thought those of you who know of him would enjoy seeing his bear hunt. He ended it in a hurry!

Hunting over bait is hunting? Not legal in PA.

Well, in the great state of California hunting over bait has been "not legal" for a while. And now, as of just a few years ago ALL trapping is banned. So be careful with that.

The shot looked a bit low and back but it worked. Nice bear.

You'll see that it's 155 pounds if you watch the video. Much bigger bears were available but he shot the first one to show up and he was happy with it so I was too!

My grandpa used to have a sign in his shop that said "I'd rather be sitting on the lake thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about fishing"
