4,000 miles later and a sore butt... I made it home from the upper peninsula of Michigan. A hot maple wood fire every night, meat on the grill, ice cold beer... and we even killed a nice bear! A big thanks to Jameson Peschel for inviting me on this trip. I was able to see a lot of the country I've never seen before and may never see again.

Thanks for riding with Mike. Wish we could have found more tracks to run but was still a good time.

Mike , "are we almost to the top?"
Random guy, "yeah, just 355 more steps"
We had to climb up to an old fire look out to track dogs after my long range antena broke.

Thanks fellas.

Silver Mountain kicked my ass haha! It was nice picking up dogs at 3 miles up there on the Garmin.

Jameson's buddy Tom killed the bear with a .30 30. I didn't bring any dogs, Jameson runs bear and hogs with his.

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...

Congratulations on a great hunt.  I killed my first bear this past spring in the Navajo Nation over dogs and loved the hunt.  While I will return for more bear hunts, not sure how many more I want to kill.  My boys and my bride are now wanting a trophy bear so I will let them do the shooting.
Adios,
Gary

Thanks fellas. 

Gary, I'm the same way... I don't care if I ever kill one. I enjoy watching the dogs work and just seeing the bear in a tree.

I agree. Just seeing a bear in a tree is fun. Once you kill one it's work!
