My 2009 Black Bear hunt 2

[KATTRAKER]

Loading our gear at the airport. This is my pre 64 Model 70-

Here is the plane we flew out of Pine Dock in-

We flew in to some beautiful wilderness, here are a few shots I took from the air-

On approach for landing on the river-

The island we would live on for a week-

All of the modern services -

Actually, it wasn't that rough. We had electricity, and our guide was an excellent cook. All and all, not too bad.

After we got settled in at camp we did a little fishing before we went to our bait sites. This picture was from that first few hours-

5:30 pm and it was time to head out to our stand. This is me and Kansas Krippler prior to our first day in the bush-

Getting used to being alone in the big woods, waiting for a bear to come in takes a little getting used to. I took this picture of my self in the stand, I was a bit edgy. It was all for nothing; it would be a full 4 days before I would see a bear. Notice the safety strap in the picture; this was the first and last day I wore a harness. Not a very good idea, but I think in my case it kept me from falling out of the tree.
