Greetings everyone,
Thanks for allowing me to be a part of the boards! I’ve searched the boards for years and finally decided to become an official member. It only seems right to start sharing information and participating in a community that has helped me along the way.
As the title suggests, I’m a retired combat veteran with ample time on my hands. We all know that can be a blessing or a curse. And I find being in the outdoors, connecting with the land, and hunting with a good friend are about all a man needs to take stock of his life.
I’ve been a hunter and fisherman my entire life and have really become obsessed with bear hunting the last few years. After reading countless posts, Escouting until my eyes hurt, and taking a leap of faith. I decided to go out west and try my hand and the big leagues of Rocky Mountain bear hunting. So I loaded up three barrels, 1,500lb bait, and headed to Idaho. Without getting into the nitty gritty of location specifics. I was able to kill my first black bear last year. A lot of that success was because of this forum and I would like to say thank you to everyone who has contributed over the years.
A few pictures from the last few years of roaming Idaho. Again, thanks for having me and I look forward to swapping stories.
