Deer,Bears,Sheep and my son.

[Weatherby Fan]

Well we bought a new camper so my son Brad and I thought we would break it in with a hunting trip, no plans just go from here to there and see what tomorrow brings, after a quick visit/coffee with RemingtonJim and Ramona we were off to my favourite deer area......RAIN and more rain, logging 24/7 and hardly a deer spotted.....after 3 days of this nonsense I says lets go for a drive Bub

Off to Lillooet and to do some exploring we spot a buck way up where the sheep hang out, a big three point by himself so we carry on and start seeing more deer, another 3 pt and and 3-2 points.......

we come around the corner and spot a few bucks but nothing to big but Brads happy to see something after the monsoons we were dealing with the last few days,

we were hoping to spot some rams so we head back to Lillooet for dinner and then back down to Cache Creek, we head down toward Spenses Bridge and park for the night and by 1am Brads sicker than a dog with food poisoning, a bad night for sure

we took it easy the next day and he slept most of the day and was pretty whipped but we did see a nice Ram so he wanted to hang around and look for sheep.

well the next day we go for a drive and Brad yells Bear and bails out with the Husky 280 AI, I look for a spot to pull over and park, by the time I climb out of the truck and walking to catch up he's walking towards me and says I dropped him with one shot.......the 280AI and 140gr AB pancakes the bear, so we stroll over and wow the bear has an amazing coat, not a huge bear but not small by any means, he looks like he's been feeding on a few PICNIC baskets he's so fat !

As it lays

Brads 1st bear so he's pretty happy,

[t-rexer]

Awsome story love the pics

[Piperdown]

Great pics, so was RJ up to his usual self and telling some fine tales :)

[browningboy]

Looks like a great time Don besides a night of food poisoning! A camper would be kind of cool so you can easily just go wherever, good on you guys, breakfast sausages coming up!

[ydouask]

Nice to read a story where animals are seen. That bear of Brad's hasn't missed too many meals. Congrats Dad and Brad.

[caddisguy]

[tayleoscar]

Easy for a fat Norwegian !

Congrats on your son's first (chubby) bear :)

Thanks for posting the story and pics!

[Brew]

What a beauty bear Don, you weren’t joking when you said he had a good hide. Nice sheep as well wish I could pull a draw in that area. Looks like a great time minus the rain and the food poisoning.

[Luka77]

Nice bear and nice photos! Congratulations to Brad on his first bear, I hope I'll get mine this year.

[nature girl]

Very nice for you to have a dad and son time together. And the new camper and spending time with Brad and seeing some awesome country and animals to. Nice he shot a bear and a nice one on that. To bad he got sick.

[HarryToolips]

Nice bear congrats to Brad, and nice pics of the other critters..

You’re onto something special there, love it. Reminds me of a property we used to frequent annually on the Fraser north of Lilloet. Thanks for posting.
