More Youth Success

[dana]

On Tuesday, Cody and I went out for an evening hunt to see if we could find him a Youth Season buck. We hiked into a hidden back corner of a cutblock to sit for the evening. Just as we sat down on a rock outcrop that overlooked the corner, a nice sized black bear bailed from underneath us. I quickly set up the shooting sticks and Cody layed his Model 99 300 Savage in them and got comfortable as I started to make a 'fawn in distress' call with my voice. The bear went into some thick stuff and then came back out into an opening and paused broadside. The Savage barked and the bear disappeared out of sight. We worked our way over there and found it laying dead in a bunch of blowdown less than 15 yards from where it was standing when Cody shot. The kid certainly knows how to whack and stack the game. This is his second bear of the year, as he harvested a nice sized black in the spring. This bear was plenty heavy and had obviously found some good berry patches.

I got to work skinning and did the gutless method on the bear. As I got the first 2 quarters off, Cody packed them back to the truck as I continued to skin. I got the rest of the bear skinned and packed out the head and hide as he packed out the rest of the meat. Here is a pic of him with his Eberlestock J105 doing the last pack out.
