Bear Hunting

 Dan went Bear Hunting with Supe.  It was crazy.  Supe's In-laws have a cabin and a permit to hunt bear, so Dan tagged along one day and had a great time!  The dogs wear GPS collars to track them and then when the collars show them sitting down (at the base of a tree where a bear has climbed up to escape them), everyone heads there to get the bear.  They walked maybe 2 miles through the woods to find the treed bear, then one of the guys shot it.  Dan, Supe and another guy had to drag the bear (who weighed 222lbs) back out the 2 miles over hills and valleys and terrain.  The guy who shot the bear then skinned it and took the meat and sent it out to get a rug made.  They will eat the bear meat all winter.  Dan had a blast going with Supe and doing something totally different than what he's done before!

 Eventually the 4 wheeler made it in some of the way and was able to drag the bear the rest of they way out
