A consistently successful hunter is almost always a very committed hunter. Being and staying committed solo or with your core hunting partners is one thing. Doing that with two very young kids in tow is a whole other matter.  

 On this episode, “Big Joe” shares the story of the truly monstrous bear his wife took this past spring bear season and how through dedication, commitment, planning, and a little luck, they managed to make it happen with the whole family along for the adventure. 

 NOTABLE QUOTES: 

“I had the cape, the skull, and the meat with me when I took it into the butcher and all of that was 440 pounds. But that’s field dressed, so imagine what the bear would have weighed on the hoof.”
