First attempt was a nice little guy, treed once, we knocked him out and he went 30 yards before treeing again. That got the dogs fired right up.

Pulled them off and let go on a nice boar half hour later. This bear put on the miles and left them stuck on this dead fall for a half hour before we could get in there and throw them in the river. Dogs crossed and played catch up for a while. All 4 dogs were half way up this log.
A couple hours later and 4-5kms, the bear went up and over the mountain, down across the river again and took them into some unaccessible country. Dark came and we got two dogs back. Got out off the mountain, built a big fire and hung out for a bit. Left at 12:30 a.m.
Went back the next day and found the other two at 1 p.m. Both tired and one hoarse, imagine they were treed for some time...
Dogs had gone well into the ravine behind the mtn on the right.
Looking for them the next day and found evidence there is a cat in there too. Note to self...
Gave the dogs a one day rest and went out again. Chased one 100 yards up this slash and the bear went up a crevice in this rock wall (to the left of the picture that u cant see) and into an unaccessible heli slash.
No idea how that bear scaled that wall, unreal.
Called the dogs off and bumped another on the road about 20 mins later.
Nice big boar was wandering down the rd 300 yds away from us with a river on one side and creek on the other. One dog struck, the bear stood on his back feet and hit the ground running. Dumped the 4 dogs and the bear took them across the river, back 2 km parallel to the road, one big loop and half way back to where we dumped and treed. he was a beauty bear, easy 6' and around 350lbs. Imagine they all did that ?
Unfotunately I didnt have my camera and I'm waiting on the pics. Heres a crappy cell shot
He treed about 45' up and put on an awesome show
Gettin hot here now, calling for 33C next weekend.
Going to be huntin' hard every day from this Sunday til the following sunday
