The picture of Little Rick cruising down Hell's Highway is self explainatory.
So is the one of Eric pushing Little Rick out of a muck hole.
The close up of the bear in the tree is a two year old cub that had been chased up the tree right next to me by it's upset momma. He is within touching distance of my recurve's bow tip. There were two other of her cubs treed in various locations around my stand.
The mad sow at the base of the tree with my bowtip in view has just charged the tree and treed a two year old. Note the torn nose and the tear above the eye. We called her scar face. Eric figures a cub did it defending himself and it explains her bad state of mind.
The sow is in the bait and the two year old is trying to climb down and escape. Note the wetness on the tree. The cub wet himself when she was huffing around at the base of the tree. He made good his escape a short while later by bailing out and running.
Thank you Rick Case for your pictures.
