Thanks for taking us along

It was fun to follow along here and by phone. Thanks for my special comment last night. Made me feel loved

Dave... I hope you know I was busting your balls... Ask Jon... You are loved and welcome to come hunt anytime...

Don't overthink it. It happened, I laughed. Don't make it anything in your head. My skin is pretty thick and I found it hilarious.

Was great to follow along Rich! I baited bears myself years ago up in the UP and I can say that wasn’t as easy as people might think. Great job on going above and beyond to get you all opportunities!! That deserves a congratulations in itself!!

Total bear harvest for segment A was 328.... Less than I expected...

Great hunts and fun to follow along Rich and the fellas.

Sounds more fun than swatting a million no-see-ums and sand midges in the Suwanee!

Jon looking happy early in the week

Hunting the NJ woods was glorious, but just a little different than OH...I was frustrated by lack of clear game trails and lack of sign. .found this nice rub but it was the only one all week, and I covered a lot of ground.

Here's a picture with before and after together

Yeah, acorns, damn they had a bumper crop, it was like walking on marbles.

Jon made PBJ sammiches and I made wraps for us for lunches.

Here's a picture of our bear camp base

Dang kids and their phones
