Bear Hunt in the UP

[Grey Owl]

Last week we went to the UP in Michigan and bear hunted. It was my first trip to the UP and I'm in love with the place. I've hunted in a lot of places and this was right at the top for beauty, game and hospitality. The Yooper folks we're so hunter friendly I was amazed. My younger cousin Nick was the only one with a kill tag so he was the shooter on this #391 lb bruiser. We also took one that went #341 that a local lady shot.

Nice job how far did the hounds have to chase it? I would have found out real quick how out of shape I am.

That's a bruiser of a bruin for sure.  Sounds like a great time.  Thanks for sharing.

Glad you were able to enjoy your time in the U.P. It is a very special place and have many special memories of deer, grouse and trout excursions there.
