well me and srupp finally teamed up and headed out on a 4 day black bear hunt.i have never got a blackie before so i was very excited about this trip.I headed for his place tuesday morning(may 22).we got the quads and trailer hooked up and we were ready to go.we had some lunch and talked about are plan of attack.then headed on our way we got there around 5 i think set up camp and went out on the quads to take a look around.so we get our gear on and headed out there was tons of bear skat all over the road so we knew they were moving around.so we come around the coner a few minutes down the road and see a sow with 2 cubs.we continue on and see lots of bear skat all over the place check a bunch of roads than we dicide to start heading back to camp as it was about a hour quad ride back.so were headed on our way home and come around a corner and there is i'd say a 7 1/2 foot grizzly sitting on his ass staring at us looked like somehing from the circus.srupp got a good laugh out of that the whole weekend:)
so we get back and make some dinner and go to bed.so we get up the next morning and have some breaky and head off.we find a nice little grassy meadow way off the main road and in the meadow must hae been 200 pounds of bear shit some of which was as big as a half loaf of bread so we sit there till almost dark.nothing showed itself so headed back to camp again another hour back.so we are slowly heading back and this is about 30 min or so of legal light left and we are slowly making are way back when a truck comes behind us so we let him by than decide to pick up a little speed since he is hauling down the road than about 20 seconds later we see him rippin back to us in reverse and srupp says bear and im like what?sure enough the guy went around the next corner and there was a bear walking down the road so.my heart is pumping i get off my quad and slowly make my way down to where he saw it and look slowly taking steps and sure enough the bear is gone great just my luck! lol if we would have been aother 30 seconds faster we might have had a bear but oh well thats the game.again we head back to camp come around the next few corners and srupp says bear!then sow! damn oh well so she heads off in the bush and we go back to camp.get up in the morning and decide to try a different spot so we head the other way and hunt all day and dont see anything but beauitiful BC wilderiness.not much bear shit either so we head out and go back to camp have lunch and head out again we go back to the grassy meadow and sit there till dark than go back to camp we got up the next morning and went out for a few hours didnt see anything and i had to go bac home for work saturday so we went back and headed home.so i didnt get a bear but srupp gave me tons of knowledge and showed me some good spots and i'm sure we will get together again and go hunting.also i want to thank srupp for taking me out and bringing his trailer ad his knowledge i have a hard time finding hunting partner that wanna go out and teach a young guy the ins and outs the wrong and right way to do stuff.i had a awesome time and i know you werent in the best of health but took me out anyway when you didnt have to thank you i very much appreciate it.i also want to thank srupp wife susan as she put most of the trip together and made this thing possible THANKS!
we need more people like this in the hunting world to teach the young guys so hunting traditions can last forever
srupp you can add stuff if i missed anythning i dont have any pics sorry im not sure if srupp has any either
