Scot Neetz - "Bear hunting is a blast"

Scot (age 16) saw a bear early in the afternoon. It came from in front of him, and walked around and sniffed the ground. It pushed away some logs and got some bait and ran back into the woods. It returned and got another piece and ate it. Then the bear stuck his head in the hole he had made between the logs. Scot shot the bear with a 20 gauge shotgun. (Last year he hunted with his bow.) It crashed down and Scot heard the death moan. He got down right away. "Because I wanted to see the bear so bad." The bear 20 yards away and was pinched between a log and tree.

Scot says: "Bear hunting is a blast. It is something new to see. This year was even better because I got one. Seeing a bear is awesome."

He videoed his own hunt and did a good job. 

Advice to new bear hunters:  "When you get in the stand stay as still as possible. Be patient. If you are a bowhunter be sure and practice. Last year I didn't practice enough and missed a shot."

Scot's is the only bear that we did not get a picture of, when we returned to camp he and his dad had already skinned it. So here is a picture of him with his dad Kirk and a stringer of fish they caught.
