I just got back from my first black bear hunt in Canada. It was a hunting trip that will stay with me for the rest for my life.

My open tree stand was only 7 feet off the ground, and the bears bait can only 14 yards away. This is what we call "nerve hunting" up close and personal! I saw no bears on the first and seco.
