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

No hunting for us in PA on Sundays either that's good or bad depending on how you look at it. It's a never ending debate here in PA with the hunters.
ReplyDeleteThe doe that I got on Friday was also with a 4 point. He wasn't chasing her but her and another doe were with the 4 point so probably a buck is around somewhere.
Sunday hunting is one of those things that is always talked about but I doubt that it will ever happen.
DeleteCongratulations on your doe! Meat in the freezer is always a good thing.
