    I read an article about that bear, what a MONSTER! At 770lbs dressed, that bear was 900lbs + live weight. Amazing!

    Not in this case no news was because of no signal in the ravine.

    Elly May didn’t catch scent of it. We are letting her track, but she’s trying to follow multiple trails.

    This place is so thick that now it’s just a hunt for the proverbial needle in a haystack.

    Still trying though.

    Well, you're putting in the effort, that's for sure. Good luck.

    I sent my wife and Elly May home. It’s too thick to fight a dog on a leash.

    There are a couple more places I need to look.

    Well, bad news and good news.

    The good? I found him.

    The bad? He’s eaten and he was a little guy.
    I don’t care. I was excited and was glad to kill him.

    My friends in NJ say they've become a big problem raising trash...recall, bear hunting was also banned for years there. Together Yogi gets big!

    Good news, bad news, way to go all out looking for him. Sometimes it doesn’t work out how we plan.

    So glad to hear you found him. You definitely went the extra mile. Was Elly May on the track yesterday when you took her off? I'm just curious if she was on it.

    If you want and you have a chance, I'd like to see where he was found in relationship to where he was shot

    The effort and memories you made while finding him makes him a trophy in my mind!

    Congrats Chief on your recovery.

    Glad it had an ending for your peace of mind.
