Bring it on Scoot! Would agree completely with you how much time, effort, and money Hunt puts into this every year to try and help others experience it. He’s one of the best and I consider him one of my dearest friends!

Another awesome trip guys! These adventures with our kids are always too short but the memories sure last. Hunt is a damn fine individual, I sincerely hope I get the chance to meet him sometime! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Tell Ryan not to feel too bad about the bears. I passed up a dandy boar the very first night I ever sat in a bear stand because I was bound and determined to kill one bigger than Nichole's pumpkinhead bear. Well I sat in a tree for 9 days and never saw another one! I feel his pain!

Great job, Scott, Ryan and Hunter! You had a bear and made the decision to pass on an iffy shot. That's what pros do, Ryan. Good man!

It was my pleasure . To see the look in Ryan’s eyes as he told me the story was like looking into my own eyes 25 years ago. Next year will be even better. Hunt

Excellent story all around, Hunt, you're a first-class dude, I don't care what they all say about you! Ryan, well done, you showed a lot of poise and maturity, Scoot, what can I say bud, you're a jinx. All seriousness aside, thanks to all of you for posting and sharing your story.

“and the old man taught the youngen’ a little lesson in golf”! I’d like to hear ol grinner’s version of that story! ;-)
Very cool to get to spend that kind of quality time with your son (and Ryan with Dad as well)! Cool story and great pics as well, scoot! Bummer about losing some of your gear on the way home. Kudos to HUNT too!

Scott,
As I said in the other post, you are a great mentor and father!
Ryan, you made a very tough decision to not shoot, (a lot of guys would have shot) that is very commendable! Great job!
I would call this a very successful hunt!
Thanks for sharing all the story and photos and God Bless!

I can’t resist.....Per usual great pictures and story from Scoot. Also per usual Scoot puts the big hex on bear hunting. I’ve seen him have great “luck” on so many critters, but he smells bad to the bears. That’s all I can figure! Ryan, next time you get a bear tag in MN we are going to put your dad in a different stand one night and one night only. I’ll sit with you if you’d like. We’ll fix that jinx!
All kidding aside, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again if I can be half the dad to my kids that Scoot is I’ll be doing a damn fine job.

That's a successful hunt in my book! Target animal in bow range. Young bowhunter passing up a marginal shot opportunity. Great father/son memories made! More proof positive that Hunter is the man!
