The time is getting near. I'm pretty pumped, I leave on Monday for a black bear hunt. Last year I worked a show in Portland next to a bear outfitter. We got along, and worked out a deal for my father and I to head there way for a bear hunt. I've always been turned off by bear hunting due to the fact I have no desire to hunt a bait stand. The hunt I'm going on is my kind of hunt. Climb a mountain, spot a bear 2 miles away, figure out how to get to it, and do the job. This is the first time my father and I have hunted together outside of Indiana in about 7 years, so it promises to be a great week.
