13 released bears and the one

[Bdog]

Went down south and hunted with my bud Tom (Breeze) and some new friends. We started off this trip with an easy one that we rigged, dumped the dogs and the race went straight up hill. This is Tom's back yard and he new where the bear was going so we drove around to the top of the mountain walked about a half mile and the dogs had the bear stoped in canyon in a small tree. Not great pics but got some good video.




Then we caught a second bear a nice boar in some of the thickest crap on the mountain no good pics.

The next day we rigged going up the mountain around 0630 and looked around and found a really good track with toes like ping pong balls.

We dumped the start dogs and then the rest of the pack and they took this dude over the mountain. They finally stopped him in the bottom of a really deep canyon. It took us a couple of hours to hike down to him and he was the one. A side note it took Tom several hours to get to us with the mules and the country was so steep we had to call and get someone to come in from the other side an hour drive. We got off the mountain at 2000 hrs that night a long but great end to a fantastic bear season.

Bruce, nice bear and bears. I hear that trashy lion dog "yap" is turnin out to be a bear dog. Glad to hear it. Keep after them and congradulations.

[Bdog]

Yes, I like that little dog a bunch and cant wait to get her on some lions. She is about the fastest track dog I have been around on bears anyways. Easy got his shoulder jacked up on a bear and gave him a few weeks off to heal up for lion season.

Hey guys, I have to tell on Bdog a little...Ive been hunting with him a lot this season for good reason...I cant see bears without him. ..He has got himself some good dogs and it shows...I know Bruce has been hunting for some time and he has to be pleased with the pack he has...He has a little bitch that lets him know if there is a bear in the area every time ..

I missed that hunt with Tom and them It sounded like a great time...Of course I dont remember having a bad hunt with either of those 2 in camp...Congratulations to ya again Lt...Coop

Treed, if your talkin about Yap, she's not really a bear dog. She must just be showin off for Bruce. She is suppose to be a dry ground lion dog.....LOL. good thing she speaks little englas and doesn't get on these trashy hound sites.

Bruce, haven't forgotten about you. I'll try to give you a call tomorrow. Hope that everything is goin good.
