Hey everyone! I just recently had the pleasure of going on the 207outdoors podcast and chatting about my recent bear hunt. Here is the link! Hope you all enjoy! http://207outdoors.com/dailed-in-hunter2/

Awesome video!

Those bucks are looking great! Thanks for sharing!

Bump...Would be a great gift for the upcoming holidays!

Not hunting related, but I have a Playstation Vita that is basically brand new with a case and 4 games. Games are Uncharted, Call of Duty, Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate, and Little Big Planet. $150 The only reason I am selling it is because I just don't use it. I can ship and accept payment through PayPal if needed.

What a sweeeeeeet deal!

Awesome job!! Love the color!

Alright, everyone! Here it is! The story of my first bear! Hope you all enjoy! There will be a more in depth story of my entire bear season, including this hunt, appearing in a future issue of Bear Hunting Magazine. Keep your eyes out! http://dialedinhunter.com/canyon-bruins-my-first-bear/

I started chasing bears 3 years ago and instantly was captivated by them. I have failed more times than can be mentioned. All of my scouting, miles upon miles on my boots, miles on my truck, being mentally destroyed over and over again, and never giving up finally paid off. This bear means more to me than words can describe and if you know me, you know how true that is. Thank you to everyone for the ongoing encouragement. It has helped me out a ton. I will be doing a full write up of the hunt shortly and let me tell you, it is an unreal story.

Thanks for giving it a read! Very excited about this bear!

Thanks guys!

Thanks man! For sure a hunt that I won't ever forget.

FANTASTIC bear!! Let's hear the story!

Hey, everyone! I have a meat question for ya. Here's how it went down with my bear. Shot the bear at around 8 a.m. Didn't get to the bear until 3 p.m. Bear was in a nice shady spot and the weather was in the high 50's low 60's. Got the bear back to the cooler by 6 p.m. Processed the back straps right when I got home at around 9 or 10 p.m. The rest of the meat stayed on ice in my cooler until about 3 p.m. the next day, due to work. Got done processing the whole rest of the bear by 1 a.m. Meat goes into the freezer. The next morning at around 10 a.m. I go into the freezer to grab the hide and skull to head to game and fish and notice that some of the meat wasn't frozen, yet had been in the freezer all night. Now that the hide is out, all of the meat is rock solid frozen. My question is, do you think the meat is still fine even though it wasn't frozen solid, but in the freezer? Is there anything I should look out for to tell if the meat is bad? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info everyone. Should I always use a meat thermometer when cooking bear, say on the grill or in a pan to make sure the temp gets to 170? Or do you just need to make sure that it is cooked all the way through?

Awesome bear!

Holy moly that sounds amazing.

Nice!! That sounds awesome! I made some up last night. Just pan fried some in some butter and through it in a bearrito! Not too bad. Tasted like beef for the most part. A bit chewy, but good. I can't wait to try out the stews and roasts.

Thanks guys! Just finishing up the article!

Hahahahahahahahaha! If I can get it done in time, it will be in the next issue. If not, it will probably be sometime next summer.

I actually just got word this morning, that this story is going to be published in Bear Hunting Magazine! I will still be putting the story up via my blog though. So excited!

Awesome job!

Thanks everyone! Just got done processing all of the meat!
