Spring bear camp 2022 has concluded!

Many memories made with good friends,food and the occasional pop! :)

Went 2 bears for 3 hunters. The last bear gave Chris the slip. Next year he will be 50 lbs heavier! :)

A couple of moment of truth videos.

Both bears taken with the swat xmag titanium head prototype. Both bears piled up in less than 40 yards with unbelievable blood trails!


Norm's bear! A whopping camp record 260lbs boar.

My boar. :)

Shamless plug for North bays finest beer!

For sure Dan.

We had 3 active baits but bears are anything but predictable and smart as he'll! I swear they watch the bait from a short distance and watch us for our patterns.

I was actually going to pass on my boar and hold out for a bigger one. The little voice in my head said"would you shoot it on the last day of the hunt?" The answer was yes! :)
