I started doing this hunt 6 years ago with my bear hunting mentor. Then in 2019 my oldest boy joined me. He was 17 at the time, now he's 21. This year my other son, 17 joined us. I took the 17yo out the week prior to this trip hoping to get him his first bear and take some pressure off of this trip. Thankfully we were successful, which meant #1 son was first shooter. By the end of the 5 day hunt we were all successful.
