I'm sure you have had some hair-raising experiences tracking bears?
Almost every one we’ve found has still been alive and we had to dispatch. Love tracking bears….exciting!

Another gem for Whitlock. He’s a Swiss Army knife now throwing 4-5 innings.
@outdoorstom are you still in touch with him???
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro9 k’s in 5 innings! He deserved a win. There was nothing available in our community so rented a place in Ft Myers for spring training so I didn’t see him. I did talk to his mother a few times. I saw him at a game in Boston last season and had a chance to talk.

Part of idaho im going in supposedly from all my research does not have grizzlies. Black bears and wolves are plentiful.
Unit 1 has more grizzlies than anywhere in the lower 48. Love to see you shoot a wolf!

You’re going to have a blast! I spent 16 days camping and bowhunting in unit 1 a couple years ago. One of the guys missed a 6x6, I never released an arrow. While it would have been nice to bring some elk meat home, I can honestly say I still considered it a successful trip just spending that amount of time in the Rockies with my buddies. Good luck!!

This is an excellent video about two trackers in Maine. This explains nicely why I love what I do!

I bought a box of 20 Buffalo Bore 405 gr rounds. I’ll be back in NY in May and will be trying it out. I was thinking about making it my swamp gun so a big buck would not have to be tracked through the swamp.

Not trying to pester, but if it wasnt sent directly to you from a dec employee anyone can photoshop a picture and do what they want to it. There is an eraser on the top left of the picture and a trash can on the top right as if it was screenshot and possibly manipulated. I’m not a pro and I could very well be wrong. I hope you dont take offense to my questions, but I always like to try and verify the source.
No offense taken. I took a screen shot and blew it up so my inbox was out of the picture.

Tom, Did you directly receive this or did some one send this to you? It was only emailed to DEC employees. Im curious as to where it was sourced from.
Someone sent it to me.

Luna and Kunox Tracking Journal 2022
in General Hunting
Posted
9/27/22
Luna has seniority, so she got our first track of the season tonight. New Tracker Mike joined us to get some experience.
I had a bad feeling as the hunter described the shot on the initial phone call. 6 pointer at less than 10 yards that immediately went down at the shot, which often indicates a high back hit. 20-30 seconds later he got up and walked away before the hunter could get another arrow in him. The arrow was found nearby and showed bright red blood. The blood trail consisted of sporadic drops for 60 yards, then nothing. Luna took us to last blood, then worked the area before picking a line. She followed it for a couple hundred yards before going back to last blood and doing a restart on her own. This happened over and over. We never saw another drop of blood or a bloody bed. After 1.43 miles of circles, we pulled the plug. The hunter and his cousin are going to put cameras out and hope to get a picture of him. I believe he is still on his feet.
