Same ole about gettin up there!! Cept this time Sarah went with us Sat AM. We set off at sunrise and got the dogs all rigged up. The dogs struck after about 30 minutes of driving around. Got the dogs released and sat back for a few to listen to the music! Then we started tracking and following them. When we got to em they had a big one treed. He was over 300. I stayed at the truck and all the others tracked in. Mel was the first back to the truck and then Sarah and Alicia and a few others.
Bout that time Fish and Game came up with cameras!! I was in my sweat pants and slippers and the guy asked me for my hunting license and tags!! I laughed at him and told him I wasn't hunting!! He asked if anyone was and the others piped up and told him the situation. Turns out he had been following us all morning. I sure hope he enjoyed the view when I dropped trou and peed off the back bumper of the truck as soon as everyone left for the bear!! LOL Hope he didn't tape it!! I mighta just stared in an x-rated movie!! LOL They wouldn't let us into any of the vehicles or ice chests on top. GPS is illegal to use to track dogs and one of the guys uses it. I had just tied his dog to my truck!! Billy came eover and whispered to me that it had the collar on. He went and asked if he could take the dog to his truck and off mine. The guy let him and the others distracted him while Billy took off the collar and threw it into the guys truck!! Didnt want them to think that dog was mine!!!
Anyway, another guy showed up with his camera crew and they went into the woods to meet the guys dragging out the bear. They said the cameras were for a National Geographic expose on Fish and Game officers and how they did their job. They filmed the entire time. When they got the bear to the trucks the officers proceeded to search every vehicle. All the bags inside and everything. They said they were looking for illegal kills or what ever. Sarah was really upset that they looked in her clothes bag with her underwear in it. They tried to play bad cop and good cop. Robert forgot to fill out the bear tag at the tree and had it in his pocket to fill out when they got to the truck. One guy was a real hard ass and told Robert that he was gonna take the bear, the gun that shot it and the gaul bladder. The other guy kept talking to the others about how he would do it differently if it were him, but he had to go along with his partner, that sort of stuff. They made him a deal, gave him the bear and gun, made him pop the bladder and empty and leave it, then gave him a huge ticket. Well, that ended our hunting trip!!! We went back to camp and built a fire and talked about the days events at length. Then we bbqd chicken and baked taters in the fire. After we ate we had left over birthday cake and hit the sack!! Here are the pics for Saturday:
