Sr: We've been hunting together since he was a little kid. I've been hunting since I was probably a teenager in Texas. Our first trip here was last year. This is our second bear hunt and it's my third visit. I also came to hunt deer in the fall.
Big Game Hunting

Jr: This is my second trip here. Just growing up, being around my dad hunting, and him being fascinated you know by big game and wanting to go hunt bears kind of was instilled with me and coming out here the first time it was so exciting to see the bears and you can't wait to come back.
Outdoors Traditions

From day one you just see tons of bears, a lot of bears, would be almost impossible for you to go home without one. We've also been lucky enough to take several color phase bears, blonde or brown or chocolate.

First Day

They told us what to do, what to expect, what to see, told us how to judge the bears. I think the guides do a really good job too of setting you up and and explaining, you know, like my dad said how to judge the bears and what to look out for to see, you know, is this bear a good shooter bear. They set you up for success.

Hands On

Yeah saw plenty plenty of bears. It was getting down to the the end of the trip for me. I'd passed up plenty of bears and this one that I saw, he looked like a pretty decent bear and I had a good shot on him and and I took it, and it was a very nice hide, very nice fur, black bear, real deep color.

The accommodations are fantastic. I was telling my dad it just feels like you're just almost at home and you got a home-cooked meal and it's comfortable to sleep. Greg and Megan work very hard.
