Congrats man! Sounds like some tough hunting for you guys. We are usually close enough to civilization that we drag our game out (gutted) to a vehicle or four wheeler and are able to weigh it at home or camp (whichever is closer) just for curiosity mainly. We take $1 bets with Price Is Right rules. Closest without going over wins. Itβs usually a whopping $12-20 π€£ but itβs good fun! Bear heart is good btw! Not sure if you kept it but if you like deer heart, youβd like bear heart.

@Jeanine thank you! Yeah, this was definitely different than that. There was no dragging this bear out. I love heart from all game animals but we didn't keep the heart on this bear. Unfortunately, the evening before when I made the shot, he was actually slightly quartering away. The exit wound got into the guts slightly and then he laid all night, so we decided to do a gutless method on him.

@Derek probably a better option in the end. Though that also means you donβt get the inner loins either which is sad. How was the weather up there for you guys?

Congrats! This was a hard earned victory. It was awesome to be able to keep up with your hunt. Feels like this is the epitome of what GoWild is about.

@Jeanine yeah, I was a little upset. I knew we left some meat in the field, but I think it was the better, safer option. The weather was warmer than it usually is for that area and that time of year. Highs in the mid 70s. Lows at night in the low 40s, high 30s. Very dry. We never got any rain the whole time we were out there.

@Derek Iβd love to hear those also. Most of the time hunting is a solo venture for me. I like living vicariously through everyone elseβs group hunts. They sound so fun!

There is something so special about crawling hands and knees through stuff only a bear can manage, looking for a predator that may or may not be dead. Certainly a pucker factor involved. Congratulations, bear hunting holds a special place in my heart.
