Black Bear - Hawk Mountain Air

I haven't written a hunt report for quite awhile. Most were about African trips.

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to Cole Hawkins of Hawk Mountain Air in Birchwood.

He dropped my nephew and I in for Black Bear using a Maule 6 on tundra tires.

This year's berry growth was insane with bears everywhere.

My nephew's wish for the hunt was for it to be spot and stalk. He usually hunts PA with a bow but used a rifle for this trip.

He also is an ultra marathoner having run 100+ mile trail races in PA so he was not afraid to work for his bear.

We glassed five bears the first legal day all over a mile away.

My Nephew began a stalk on one that was 1 1/2 miles away, got within 75 yards and shot well.

I'm approaching the age where I enjoy taking others as much as hunting myself.

It was even with him filling his tag on day one. He had to work for it and that's what he wanted.

Met Cole 5 years ago when he was flying for the outfitter I hunted the peninsula with. Could really fly that super cub. Good guy.

Nice. Been a few years since I hunted Black Bear. Enjoyed every hunt I've done for them. Your report raises pleasant memories.
Glad you guys enjoyed your hunt.


Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

Thanks. It was a beautiful area. You caused me to look back at the pictures and I had to laugh. I didn't notice the Boone and Crocket dragonfly above my nephew's gun barrel. Big Grin
