BEAR HUNT 09!!!!

May has been a very busy and extrememly fun month! Kya was able to go to Utah with Gram and Gramps and spent some time with everyone! Mom joined up with her about 10 days later...yes it was hard and I don't want to do it any time soon. While Kya was playin it up in Utah, mom and dad were moving and working...the grandparents were a lifesaver! I drew out on Bear this year as well as my brother Tim so we headed up to La Sal Mtns near Moab and went about hunting bear. We saw a lot the first week but we were never close enough to get a shot on any. The second week we brought up Kya and my mom and they camped while we hunted. We had such a blast! Kya is a great camper and such a big trooper. She would probably love to live like this because she is always outdoors. Here are some camping pics...

Here is my dad riding in trailer of the fourwheeler...being goofy...caught ya!

And a pic of our campsite from Kya's swing...her awesome uncle Bimmy made the swing up for her and it was a favorite activity! Thanks Bim!

Alright! Finally some pics of the great bear! I did a spot and staulk...which is very difficult and I am proud to say I accomplished it! I hiked into and out of "the bear hole" many times and it finally paid off. I shot and killed the bear at about 8:00 PM so we were only able to get a few pics in before it was dark. We did another photo session the next morning so Kya and my mom could join! I had a blast hunting with my fam and the camping was great too. Thanks to my brothers for all their help, I probably would have been eaten by the mama bear and especially my guide...my dad! Couldn't have done it without you!
