A good bear jaw here you can see the wear from age on the top teeth, discolor on the teeth and the bottom canine is worn on the inside. I think this fellow should have been seeing a orthiodontist. Oh well now the taxidermist will clean it all up and th

John has been away for 3 weeks, Saturday evening is usually a quiet one, no hunters in camp, time to talk to the Wife or the girl friend, get the laundry done, but most of all relax and regroup for the next group of hunters comoing to camp.

Some of you may have seen something like this. This den is just 40 yds from a bait site. When we put barrels in there was a bear still sleeping in here but we chose not to disturb him. When pic was taken there was nothing in it.. thank gosh.

Tom adds a sturdy bumper to the back of the rhino in hopes those $200.00 tail lights stay in one piece over spring bear hunting. backing up in baitsites in the dark can be hard on plastic.

Each bait gets a full 45 gallon barrel of oats and grease meat scraps and liquid smoke scent sprayed at the sight. WE take a full barrel in and remove the empty one. Barrels are always empty when we come in the spring, they look like some one put them

MAr 23 we went to pick up the new addition to our business. Kokkes at Shoal Lake seems to be a stopping place each year many times for repairs, new toys, and purchases. Good service, good equipment and a little abuse is what you should expect depending
