Bear Hunt 2010 - Sept 18/19

We got up to camp late on Friday and decided to put up camp because it looked like it might rain. We got to the bear stand around 6:30 and after 10 minutes a big sow and three cubs came in to the bait. They stayed for about an hour and then left and a small cinnamon colored bear came in to the bait. As that one was coming in I looked behind us and another black bear was coming in, but he spooked and took off right away. Saturday morning I shot two grouse with the dogs, they did great. Saturday night the sow and cubs came in again and left after about an hour. We could hear another bear in the brush but it never came out. Sunday morning at first light we went to the stand and got about 50 yards from the stand and we could see a bear at the bait. We couldn't tell what bear it was so Erin didn't because we didn't want to shoot the sow by mistake. Turns out it was one of the black bears we were after. Oh well...Going back up Friday.

Bear Hunt 2010 - Sept 11/12

Erin & I went up bear/grouse hunting this weekend. We each shot a grouse on Saturday morning and then sat on the bear stand Saturday night. We had a smaller cinnamon colored bear come in to the bait Saturday night for about an hour. Erin decided it was to small to shoot. I went out grouse hunting Sunday morning and only put up one bird. Also have a trail cam on the bear bait.

Fishing at Atikwa Lake Lodge 2010

Courtney and I had the best time fishing up at Atikwa Lake Lodge in August. We caught a lot of Lake Trout and Pike. We really enjoyed spending time with Rob and his family and Todd & Sam.
