On today's episode of the.deercamp.podcast, we are back in the studio with my friends The Johnsons and Adam Miller talking bear hunting. We discuss:
The Johnsons went bear hunting in Manitoba instead of waiting years for Michigan tags
Mornings were for fishing — over 100 pike caught during the trip
The bear stands were deep — hour truck ride, then 30 minutes by quad
Jill had bears under her stand the first night and was too nervous to draw
She ended up arrowing a 150 lb bear at just 17 yards
They tracked it in the dark but found it the next morning 300 yards away
Made pulled bear tacos using root beer and a crockpot — said it beat venison
The Johnsons are heading to Wyoming next for their first mule deer rifle hunt
Hunting as a couple has its costs, but way more chances to get out together
At home, they’re planting clover, chicory, corn, and soybeans for fall deer season
