This spring has kept my family busier than usual, which is why I haven't posted much lately. My husband is a big game hunting guide, and is away for nearly two months guiding black bear hunts. That has left me with all of the chores he usually takes care of, like splitting wood, hauling water, tilling the garden (with a shovel), and all the other "little" things he does all day, in addition to my usual things. Our boys have been a great help, but we'll all be glad when he returns.
The hunter is on the right; Chuck is holding the paw on the left. |
Chuck writes a blog for an outdoor network, and has just posted an article, along with some great pictures, about their Icy Bay hunts. Some of these bears are HUGE! Take a look. This one makes the one I shot last year look like a cub.
Oh, and you might notice something familiar about his blog ---- the name. I was setting up my blog about the same time he began writing for the Outdoor Blog Network, and neither of us communicated with each other on the name. So, take a look at the other Last Frontier.
Here are a couple more pictures from his articles.
This one really shows what a bear can do. |
A bit bigger than the bears we get here! I would sooner have bears like your's though than our snakes & spiders!

I'm glad we've got a few black bears in West Virginia, but I'm sort of glad that's the only kind!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! That bear is enormous! That's pretty scary.
