Jesse Phillips had no intention of bear hunting. He was along for the ride with friend and host of Blood Origins , Robbie Kroger, who was on his annaul bear hunt with Grove Hill Outfitters . Being convinced that he should go hunt, Jesse grabbed the 45-10 and headed into a treestand. He wore his cowboy boots, jeans and flannel, "the only thing I didn't do was put on deoterant" Jesse laughed. Climbing up into the stand a little before 2pm, he held no expectations for seeing his first bear in the wild. He was doing this just to apease the guys in camp. At 4:02, a bear appeared. "He was about 40 yards away," explained Jesse, "and he was just walkeding around, sniffing and eating. He wasn't interested in the bait at all." Watching the bear, Jesse knew he needed to remain calm. He was in no position to move his gun and take a shot without the bear spooking. The bear walked in and out of the opening with no intention of heading to the bait. Jesse
An outdoor blog about hunting, fishing and exploring the woods of Maine.
I just started following your blog. As for the Wool Pants I would have to recommend the Filson Wool Field Pants. I had mine for over 8 years before i out grew them. They worked ice fishing, water fowl hunting and deer hunting. I have seen them in grey too
ReplyDeletei was going to make a joke and just type "sheep." but that wouldn't help you much. I'd say right about now is a good time to find them anywhere that sells outdoor clothes. but i like the above comment, anyone selling things waterfowlers wear probably has some good stuff.
ReplyDeleteActually I'm looking to so if you fins where before I do let me know.
ReplyDeleteNice buck by the way, congratulations.
Thanks guys!
ReplyDelete@Savage- - thanks for the suggestion
@Tom - the sheep answer made me laugh
@Rick - will do! and thanks
I have a camo pair from L.L. Bean that go with my guide jacket, I'm very pleased with them plus they look cool. I don't know how they'd roll with the ladies but here's the link.

Awesome! Thanks DDH
ReplyDeleteI would recommend the Maine Guide Wool Pants (however mine are circa 1979 and the quality is a little higher). They are warm and a tough tight weave. All the Best..Phil
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with either Bean or Filson
