As most of you probably have figured out by now, I am a big fan of the podcasting world.  So much so, that I almost find my self listening to hunting podcasts now more than music and that means a lot coming from a musician!  They are a great way for like minded individuals to interact and help all of us become even better at our passion.  In this case, that is obviously hunting.  The knowledge and just pure entertainment that I have gotten out of these shows has been endless.  My only problem is, as I have said in the past, finding the time to listen to them all!  So many good shows and not enough time in the day!

Canyon Bruins (My First Bear)

After the emotional roller coaster that the August bear season gave me, I honestly didn’t know if I was going to hunt bears again during the 2015 season.  To lose an animal of that caliber, after all of the hard work that I have put in over the past 3 years, was a crushing experience.  No matter how much we prepare, we cannot control the outcome of a situation.  That was all too real for me.  Countless talks were had with family and friends about my lost bear and how we did all that we could.  It didn’t change the fact that I still felt awful.  Bears are an animal that have truly become special to me and that I admire to their core.  The way they move seamlessly through rugged terrain, their behavior, toughness, and intelligence are all intriguing to me.
