Rebel


Newest Member of the Family
Meet the newest member of our family Rebel. He is six months old and so far things are going very good. This is Erin's hunting dog.








New Kennel Area
With our ever expanding family some of the dogs are going to have to stay outside. Erin and I used the horse fencing to build an area for Odessa & Rebel.

Bear Hunt 09

Spring Bear Hunt '09
Well we finally connected with a bear on Saturday night. We got in the stand at 3:30 pm and shot this bear at 8pm. Erin was facing the bait and I was in a stand behind her facing the other direction. I had my gun resting on the tree when I heard something behind me. When I turned and looked there was a bear staring at me at about 15 yards. It ran off but came back in about 5 minutes later from another direction. It could smell us so it would not come all the way in to the bait. I wanted Erin to get a shot, but when the bear turned to go away she told me to shoot so I took the shot. The bear dropped in it's tracks and we had a lot of work ahead of us getting it out to the quad and cut up.

It's been a long spring of learning bear hunting, but I think we're hooked on it!
And we still have the fall season to fill Erin's tag starting August 30th.
