It was some tough hunting, and it started very early due to some fresh snow.
Thi is looking out towards Elkins WV at day break. We had been looking for tracks since 3 am

We had permission to hunt just about everything you can see

Tracking dogs. Some old school radio units and some new GPS collars were used.

"Mack" waiting his turn. He got his chance and preformed perfectly, leading the charge on a 300 pounder that crossed the logging road right infront of the truck. He was on the track in less then 30 seconds and they tree'd the bear within 400 yards

A 360 pounder we got on opening day

A 300 pounder we got on the last day of the first week

I have a bunch more but have to keep them in an unused state until they figure which ones to run for an article. Had fun, hope you enjoy them.
