4 Bears - 2 Days

Well this all started on Friday morning. I went up hunting with Dana Ross. We had a hard time getting anything started tell around 7:30 am we finally got a good strike. I cut out Serria and she got the track going pretty fast but as it goes we walked the bear tell 2:00 pm that afternoon. Scott came up that evening and we got camp set up and went back out hunting around 6:00 pm. We got a really go strike and turned the dogs loose and had the bear treed in about hour. Got to the tree and took some pic. and video and then went back to camp. This morning we got up and left camp and about 20 min after doing so we got the second bear. She ran for about 30 min and treed in some hell hole that took forever to get to. Got the dogs loaded up after that and ended up striking number 3 bear just a few hundred yards from the spot we turned out on number 2 bear. That bear treed in about 5 min and we went to the tree again took pic. and video and went down to the truck. The dogs are getting pretty tired by now so we put them back on the box and were going to take the long way back to camp just to see if we could get anything. As our lucky weekend would have it we had a good strick, cut the dogs loose and treed number 4 bear in about 30 min. Scott and myself had a really good weekend and I cant waite tell my Utah hunt. Hope you all enjoy!

July 11th and 12th Bear Hunts!

Well myself and Scott did a little Bear hunting this weekend. We started on Friday and ended Saturday afternoon. Friday morning we put up a little guy. It took a little time to get one going due to a good strike that didn't pan out then we had to gather dogs up and that's when we got him. That will be the Bear in the first video you see. The second Bear we got that Night. We got a good strike and treed this Bear I think before any dogs even hit the road. It was a sow with 1 cub. I think there was two there but Scott was sure there was only one. The dogs did a really good job of treeing. This will be the bears in the second video. the Bear in the third video is the Bear we got on Saturday morning. We got a really good strike and turned Scott's Mickey dog on it and he ran up the hill in the direction the Bear went but never opened. That is when we put Sierra on it and she opened up the hill a ways and the race was on. Mickey is doing very well this year and we are hoping to see some good thing out of him in the feature. The Bear treed and that's about it. The third video is really short due to mu camera battery dieing. We had a really good time this weekend!
