This bear gave the dogs a great run. It sure picked a small tree to get up. They were putting a lot of heat on it.

This bear gave the hounds a good run. The bear did us a favor and treed close to a road.

Thanks, we caught tons of bears this trip and the dogs worked really good.
The camera takes very good video and is an excellent tool for learning what is really happening out there.

HUGE Bear! Nice Pix and some big trees for sure.... Imagine how OLD the trees are, COOL! Any clue what that bear would weigh? His paws alone look like they weigh a TON!
Dawgs as nice as always! HappyHunting, Heather

Thanks Heather. I would only be guessing hpw heavy the big bear would be. He was a really good boar.

Not a big boy but a hard running fellow. It took some heat to get it treed.

After a few hours of running this bear pulled the slip on the pack in water hole where it backtracked and took off.
Rose figured it out and Storm wasn't far behind. Together they treed it after another mile.


This was the first bear we seen this spring that was rubbing

Another huge fir tree

Thanks Adam.
The four hounds made short work of this run, treed this little fellow within a half mile. Struck it on the wind.
