First three days of deer season
Hey lads, had to come out of the bush early this year to attend to some work..
Three days into the deer hunt we have only 4 things hanging in the skinning shed: 2 bucks, 1 doe, and 1 scrawny little bear.
What lacks in quantity is made up in quality...the 2 bucks are huge...a 9 point and an 11 point; real beauties.
I think the deer population is into a low cycle, we're not seeing very many... the bush is lousy with bears though, my buddy
scared one up and told me on the radio there was a 'big bear comin' your way'.... 2 minutes later I had a 300 pound bear
come over the hill in front of me at about 30 mph. Up till then I was standing on my watch waiting for the doggers to come through
and just thinking about how cold my feet were...amazing how having a big fat bear blow past you a few yards away can make you forget
all about damp feet! I think we saw in total about 4 different bears in only a few square miles of bush..
And then there's all the other great stuff about the hunt; too much food, too much beer, and hanging out with your pals in a place
where you can wear your muddy boots at the supper table.
