Spring bear hunt - western Oregon
Carson (CMB):
Keenan, I like your way of thinking! And I like maple bacon. ;D
Carson (CMB):
The season is half-way over and I have only made it out once, just an overnighter the first weekend of the season. One of the pitfalls of hunting close to home is thinking you can always get out there next weekend, and then before you know it the season is over. Anyway, the first trip I found some old tracks in a snow field that looked like they belonged to a sizeable bear that must have moved around a bit during some unseasonably warm days we had several weeks prior. Other than that, I found no other bear sign, but enjoyed being out in the woods with bow in hand. I am hoping to make it out this weekend and the next. Should be some more activity now.
JW_Halverson:
Take out your pocket knife and cut off a small corner of the bear hunting license.
Put it in your mouth.
Chew, but do not swallow.
Continue chewing.
What does it taste like?
Does the ink on the paper add any flavor?
What is the texture?
Think deeply about it.
Spit it out.
Now, would you rather eat the bear or the bear tags? Get your lazy butt off the couch and get out there, knucklehead!
Carson (CMB):
Well I ended up eating a piece of my tag this weekend...did not make it out there. I could ramble a long list of excuses, including cooking the tread off of my boots, but really it just boils down to the wind and the moon....they just weren't right. ;) I did have a dream last night that I was driving up an old logging road when an enormous black bear, built like a paleo cave bear, walking down the road toward the rig, continued as I got out and grabbed my bow. He walked right up and opened up his big mouth which I shot right into, dropping him on the spot....but for some reason I still had trouble getting this bear cleaned and butchered despite falling right next to the truck. I vaguely remember having to work his frozen quarters back and forth to loosen him up for skinning.
So back to the waking world. I will get out there!
JW_Halverson:
Go get 'em!
