BEAR HUNTING!!!

Well, Dustin finally talked me into going hunting with him this past weekend! We went to Blanding, UT to go BEAR HUNTING!! Am I crazy or what? I'm pretty much crazy! It was a long tiresome weekend that is for sure. Spending every day waking up at 4 am just to sit in a truck driving on bumpy roads until 9! Can anyone say carsick? That is exactly what I was for all 4 days was just that! We left friday night at about 8:30 pm, arrived in Blanding at about 4:45 the next morning and hopped into another truck and went hunting! Aside from waking up early and sitting in a truck all day, we did see some pretty cool stuff! We saw a REAL LIVE BEAR!! That was pretty cool and kinda scary in a way! This is a picture of the bear sitting up in the tree watching us and the dogs! Cute right? It would look down and drool would keep falling out of its mouth! It was just a little one so I wasn't too nervous! I think I would have been more scared if it was growling and mean!

If you look in the picture above and see that lovely rock mountain as I would call it you will understand the hike it took to get to this dang bear and back to the trucks! When looking at the GPS the hike down was approximately 1.3 miles. Well, in a straight line, the hike a different way than the one we took down is exactly 1 mile. What hike do you think we picked. The one that the mountain had a backside of rock that we didn't know about and the hike was actually 2.5 miles! We hiked all the way around this little rock mountain in the rain and hail and mud and sharp trees and bushes across slick rock and when we thought we were almost there, we still had a mile to hike! FEEL THE BURN!?!?!?! I certainly am. Every muscle in my body was aching by the time we were done!

Well, despite all of the hard work that bear fed us, we did have some fun too! We shot water bottles off of a tree stump! Yes I did hit one! Beginner's luck or pure skill? I'll take the skill!!! It was pretty fun, we don't go shooting all that often.

This is my man thinking he is hot stuff with his little pistol trying to shoot the water bottles down!

This final picture is a picture of a dang cool rock we saw on the drive home! I tried getting Dust to stop so I could get a picture but he refused. He wanted to get home fast so he would not pull over so I had to take this picture through the truck window traveling 70 mph down the highway! Well, this was my adventure filled memorial day weekend in Blanding!
