Hey guys, I post over on Stickbow more than Bowsite, but looking to do more than browse both sites these days.

I thought I would share a blog post I wrote recently about my first black bear hunt. Thanks for taking the time to read if you do. Feel free to post feedback here or on the blog. Thanks guys!

JOhnathan,

Great article, thanks for sharing! You had more restraint than I would have passing up that first boar. Now there is little doubt you are hooked!

Congratulations!

I've done it before on other hunts where you pass up on the first day and pay for it going days without seeing anything again (or never seeing anything).

The chance I took. I cannot believe how good that bear tastes though.

Awesome! Nick and I both took our first ever this spring too (using 3 Rivers-purchased stuff too, I might add ;)

how about some pics?
