Bear hunting this spring was quite an adventure. We had above average snow pack this winter and the creeks were raging. As you can see, it ended up getting us in some trouble. If you haven’t yet, watch the video above before you read further.
Close call huh? Normally this stream is only a few feet wide and maybe a foot deep. Pretty incredible. That evening, we attempted the crossing again (we know we’re not too smart… hindsight is 20/20) in George’s Dodge diesel pickup and it got stuck too. Cory was able to winch him out with his Jeep again, but the pickup sucked water through the engine and the insurance company totaled it. This was an expensive hunt to say the least. We’re just glad nobody was hurt.

Later that month, the adventure continued. If you liked this post, you would really enjoy “Blazing Saddles“.

Despite the tough conditions, we did have some success. Todd Dunn took a nice chocolate bear on the first day (right after the river crossing incident)

Craig Frank took an absolutely beautiful blonde bear on the last evening of the hunt. They both shot their bears with bows.
