Coonhound treed bear

[ramblin radar]

My husband went hunting last night and was going to make the famous "last drop", and he never knew what his last drop was going to turn into! We usually rig our dogs, and rigged he did. So he dropped the dog and our dog doesn't usually bark on track that much, and you couldn't hear yourself think over him last night. He treed about after 1 minute or so, and they went to go see if they could find the coon. Well that was the biggest coon on steriods they had ever seen! It turned out to be a 350+ lb. black bear! My husband had never felt so nakid w/a .22 in his life! That will be a night to remember! Earlier that night when he was sitting in his treestand huntin deer, he had to fight off a porkupine wanting to sit in his treestand w/him!

That is not uncommon, my brother has two dogs that he bears hunts durning the day and coon hunts at night,and my 2 best bear dogs have come from coon hunters that got tried of treeing bears when they went out.

It does make for some great stories and interesting times at the tree
