Congratulations beautiful blackie.

Dinner looks good too.

Did you have the dog involved in the hunt, he looks like he would be a good bear dog/

Thanks,my dog(Argentinian Mastiff AKA Dogo Argentino) is 6 month old ,was as observer this time,getting him ready for his first hog hunt next month

Pretty dog. I hunt feral hogs in Florida with dogs, great sport to watch them find and run the pigs.


I just got last years black Bear mount back, and now finishing last year bear meat. I think it tastes delicious, wife likes it too. We had bear stroganoff last night.

atakacorp,

Congrats and beautiful bear! If you would can you give some more details ie dogs, bait, chance? Looking forward to my counties black bear season in a few weeks.

Thank you. I just got lucky . This guy was on the property for years ,have his pics on trail cams,he busted in the chicken coop last year and killed all the chickens,4 ground blinds were shredded to pieces,I have pics of him trying to bust in to the lodge and finely I got him
I was going home from my favorite blind by the river ,was getting dark,i was thinking about two good size pigs i missed 1 hour ago,saw them too late and could not take a shot, about half way to the lodge ,looked to my right and saw something big moving slow a cross the filed ,I ran 30-40 yards and realized this is the bear and a big one too,he was over 100 yards away,i thought to ran some more ,but he made me and started to move faster, took a shot,he made a sharp left turn ,i shot again ,he disappeared and in 5 sec i saw him running back in full speed,was getting ready to shoot again when he stopped and slowly went down,man, it was something
and yes I did the stupidest victory dance

Awesome, thanks for the story. Glad you finally caught that destructive boar. 3 more weeks to go here but I'll miss most of it do to work.

That bear was your nemesis! A big one, too!

What will you use the lard for? Dinner looks excellent. Congrats!

Thanks. Lard can be used as a medicine,back,joint pains, you can cook on it,I know some people selling it for 16$ per oz on line

Did it give out with that long loud death moan??

Bear lard is the absolute shizzle for cooking pastry such as pie crust. Even frying tubed biscuits creates a small miracle of culinary delight. Try it out, you won't believe a pie crust made from it.

No moan,may-be because of the lung shot,he just choked on blood,man i saw him ,this black spot on the field and ..it felt good

The lard worked in with a hair blowdryer is the BEST leather boot waterproofing there is.

This spring will be my first time bear hunting
Thanks for the story
