Ontario Bear Hunt 2011 (we're back-pic heavy)

The time was actually 1932 for the pic.

I want to thank Michael for his help in recovering my bear. Also want to thank Rob and Jeff for a good time hunting.

Kapriver outfitters is a new bear operation and I was pleased with their set-up. Not to mention they have some really nice size bear. Thanks for coming along with me and I hope you enjoyed it. I'll post some more trail cam pics and such later.

You be one UGLY buggar even next to a bear, Mike, but dang that is a great story.

Love to have seen some pics of you standing on your seat...and then shooting from it no less.

"IMPROVISE" just never leaves you guys, does it!?

The hide looked like it was in good shape, was it and how much did the bear weight? THANK YOU for this, feel like I was there...also never saw the skunk coming.

My wife says the same thing Doc. Ugly for sure.

Improvise is instilled in you and you never forget it. Kinda works sometimes too.

Hide is in great shape. The 2 guides said it was around 250. It will make a nice rug in the recroom.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. It was an enjoyable hunt with friends.
