YAY for Jesse! He shot his bear the first night they arrived in Ketchikan! Apparently there were bears all over where they went hunting so Jesse got to be a little picky!
After the hunt, which ended around 11pm, they brought the carcass back to our house and left it in the back of the pick-up for the night. Thanks to Max, around 1am, Reid went outside to find a LIVE black bear standing on his back legs with his front paws on the side of our truck, looking at his dead friend.
SOOO.......in order to be able to get some sleep that night Reid and I drove the truck to the Forest Service building, downtown, and left it for the night. This turned out to be a good spot and the bear was all ready to go visit the Fish and Game office the next morning.
You can see the paw prints in these pictures a little. If you look closely you can see smudge marks from his fur on the side of the truck too. Good thing Max heard him before things got bad! What can we expect? We do live in a neighborhood called Bear Valley!
