We never got that boar in a spot for the hunter to get him killed. The race took off around the mountain and the dogs treed. We were so excited, hurried into the tree and we had a bear that was the right color but was smaller than what we had seen crossing the road. Dog switched bears! We let this boar go. He needs some growing yet.

Fantastic fir tree

We struck and run this nice black bear. Joon and Smoke did this one by themselves.
Bear must have had a late night! Looks tired.

Getting ready to go out to bear camp again so I better finish up the hunts from last time!
This runnig bear made a bad mistake and ran into a piece of ground that goes way out in one of the lakes. It tried to come back out but the pack was there to stop it. It didn"t want to tree but they didn't give it much choise.

This giant black boar took the pack through a lot of water before heading for the high country. We got in front of the race and got it shot. Clifford was running hard right up its butt. He did an excellent job.

This bear was exciting! Clifford and Danny cold trailed this bear to the thick brush and went bayed. The boar decided that he didn't want to run I guess. We snuck in and shot it bayed in that thick stuff.

Hope to get some more pictures and video from the next couple weeks when we are out there again.
