A lot of debate lately between long bows, compound bows and crossbows. What’s your opinion/preferred method?🎯

Always glad to hear about a triumphant recovery effort!👏🏻

It has certainly been an interesting week so far. Here at LGS we have a strict policy that if you wound a bear, that is the end of the hunt. I've implemented this rule because we give 110% to recover every animal. Yesterday was the perfect example.

On Wednesday evening at 7 pm, my client Scott Libby hit this bear and made what he felt was a good shot. They tracked the bear for about 250 yards before losing the blood. Yesterday morning Scott described the shot to me and how the bear reacted, so I decided we better take another look. Dale and I, along with Scott and his son Josh, went to take another look yesterday afternoon using my prized, and very pregnant hound Reba. Twenty-one hours after the shot was fired I followed Reba along on the trail. Once I passed the last blood, she worked the track along with ease. After a couple hundred yards I doubted she had it, so I made a close inspection, and sure enough found a spot of blood. After about another 100 yards we crested a knoll and I heard a branch snap ahead of us, and I watched the bear stand up and start stumbling away. I was completely shocked that Reba could follow the 21-hour old track and that the bear was still alive! At this point I realized I didn't have a gun, nor did anyone else. Dale went back for his pistol in the truck, and it took a while to get regrouped. Once Reba and I set out on the track again, the bear had traveled another 200 yards before laying down, and we finished the job. There's nothing worse than wounding an animal, which is why we will do whatever it takes to find them. The reality is, without a special hound like Reba, the bear would have never been recovered. Like my dear friend Tommy Randall always tells me, trust your hound!

"We had a great time last year on the hunt. The guides were all professional and the experience was top-notch. OMM took care of everything. After we harvested the bear they took care of preparing the bear for the butcher and getting us the finished cuts in record time. The cape went off to the taxidermist and I am looking at an amazing bear rug in my office now. We had such a good time we are going back with a larger group again this year. If I had the room on the wall, I would have signed up for one of their moose hunts as well!"

Last year's winner gives the experience 5 stars! Don’t miss your chance to win a Maine Bear Hound Hunt donated by OMM Outfitters- World Class Adventures!

Anyone out there down for helping a fellow hunter out? Sounds like he’s willing to pay for services rendered..
No negative comments!
He’s trying to get some help, and I’d say it’s a great idea with gas prices these days. Great way to make some extra cash if you’re in the area!
Thank you!
