Stuck N The Rut

His skills in hunting big whitetail deer followed him, and he was pulling big mountain bucks that were making even the Idaho locals jealous. I got to know Mark very well for the past 10 years, and he is one of the most down to earth humans you will ever meet. He taught me a lot about deer scrapes, tree stand setup, and how to find those MONSTER whitetails that elude other hunters on Public Land. With the rattling and...

After our bear encounter, we heard from Mark Schwantes, a hunting guide over in Dillingham, AK . While hunting with his brothers Luke and David,  they were surprised  with a boar and a sow at 15 and 5 yards.

Within a matter of seconds, Mark dropped the sow at 15 yards with a rifle and his brother behind him shot the 9' boar at 5 yards with a 500 revolver and turned him with one shot.

We debate over the gun power vs the number of shots for bear protection and what we learned from bear hunting this year.

Trevor came up from Idaho to hunt spring brown bears with Tana.
