After harvesting my first bear at 15 years old I was hooked. I recently turned 40 and haven't missed a single season hunting this amazing animal. Some years even hunting multiple states. 25 years down and hopefully many more to come. I've harvested over 20 bears now with all sorts of various weapons. I would say I'm a meat hunter that targets mature boars. My accolades include 3 bears that qualify for the book and one color phase cinnamon out of Northern MN.
