MORE BEAR HUNTING PICS

Dear Family,

Since this hunt was unusual, I would like to show more pics that Rob took with his iPhone.  This is  a shot of the Salmon river we crosses just outside of Lewiston, ID.  There is a huge wood processing plant there and the whole area has a peculiar pungent smell.

This is the view from the winding road over the mountains.  You can tell the weather was not too hospitable  but everything was beautiful green.

This is another ground blind.  This is a two man blind but pretty tight.  You have to be careful what you eat for lunch in this blind.  Hunting usually starts at 3PM and you sit there for 5-6 hours trying to be still and not talk.  Rob and I whispered.

Here is another blind or hunting seat.  That is the Dad inside in the pouring rain.  Rob cut garbage  bags for my legs but it was still pretty wet. Guns got soaked.  Was this fun?  It is always great to be in the woods on a hunt.

These bears have an attitude.  One hunter parked his 4 wheeler and walked into his blind.  A bear circled around behind him and ate the seat of his four wheeler and distributed pieces over a 100 yards over the road.  Rough ride back to camp.

Bears found that little two man blind the day after our hunt and tore it to shreds  They tore it up and they destroy anything they find made by man.  Kinda reminded me of the elephants in Zimbabwe.

The cook played the bagpipes and banjo and when he started this picking, got  little nervous.  We were in the wilds of Idaho.

We had a great time and it was an unusual experience.  May be getting too old for this stuff but it was interesting

Love, Dad
