Unexpected Encounter With Toothy Critter

June 1, 2008

Date: June 1, 2008
Destination: Quebec City
Outfitter: Gesti-Faune
Goal: Archery Bear For “NAH-TV”
With one bear hunt down and two to go, I once again set off to an area that still has snow. Living in Minnesota can be tough—the weather is not exactly ideal. There are only a couple months per year with nice weather, and it’s [...]
