| My Bear Hunt! |
How awesome is Bear hunting?!
We booked my first bear hunt, September
2-8th, 2006, with Watershed Bear Outfitters
in Gogama, Ontario, Canada. The area we
hunted was AWESOME, Canada is beautiful
and the hunt the most amazing experience
I have ever had!
The first night we hunted I had a guide sit with
me to get me comfortable with the area. The
second night I was ready to brave it myself, so,
I had the outfitter drop me off at my tree stand
7 miles away from anywhere. He dropped me
off about 2pm. I sat with my bow in hand till
about 3:30 p.m. I was really proud of myself for
being brave and hanging in there by myself.
Then I realized I had to pee, so I bent down
and ‘peeed’ through the slats on the tree
stand. You men have it so much easier than us
women when it comes to stuff like that. And
yeah, I know, you are not supposed to pee
when out on stand. I really had to go though.
Anyway, no sooner did I get my pants pulled
back up and sat down, I heard a noise coming,
and I grabbed my bow. It was a bear!!!! Man
that will make your heart pump. As I watched
him I noticed that he was not going for the bait,
he was coming toward me!!!! When he got to
me he smelled under the stand where I had
'peeed', then started up the first two rungs of
the tree stand ladder. He then walked around
the stand to an embankment and crawled up
toward the stand, stood up, and ended up with
his face about 3 feet from mine.

He growled fell on his butt, and moved
back and forth for a while. Then he
got up and walked a few steps, fell
down, and tried to get back up again,
he did this for about 5 minutes, then I
heard the death moan and he was
out. After I heard the moan, I waited
for about a half an hour to make sure
I did not hear any more movement. My
legs were shaking like crazy it was
funny. I was shaking so bad, I wasn’t
able to hold my girlfriend’s cell phone,
without dropping it, I set it beside me
on the stand for 30 minutes, until I
stopped shaking! I called the
outfitter, than got down to look for
the bear!!! The outfitter was shocked
to find me scouting for the bear, and
stated most men would not leave their
stands until he arrived. As we marked
the last blood marks, it started getting
really dark, so we returned to camp
with a plan to go back in the morning.
We found the bear 5 feet from last
blood trail and about 30 yards from
my stand. The outfitter said I was the
first to kill a bear in the area and I got
the third largest bear of the season,
about 230 pounds. In addition, my
friend and I were the first woman
hunters ever at his camp. Everyone
should bear hunt once it’It's an
awesome experience!!!

Talk about and an "OH *&^%"
moment!!! Then he smelled the bait.
He walked to the clearing toward
the bait, got on his belly, crawled to
the bait, grabbed a donut, and
backed out on his belly back to my
stand. He stood under my stand, as
he ate the donut, but looking up at
me the whole time. He did this for an
hour!!!!!!! Hardcore (my husband)
had given me a Jello pudding mixture to
pour over the baiting log; afterward I
placed the empty container behind a
tree. The bear finally decided he
needed that bag, he stood up,
reached his front leg out, and I shot
him!!!!
