PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" is Dave Laskey with a real nice Vermont black bear! Dave had just finished his duties of a long week of moose hunting with the group he headed from Hunt of a Lifetime. When the weekend came, Dave was looking forward to some time in his deer stand to reflect on the past week’s events. Dave knows time in the woods is always a blessing. Around 5:00 pm he spotted a bear stepping across a skid road about 80 yards away. It soon disappeared in a ravine out of sight, but Dave had seen it long enough to know it was a good, healthy animal, and if given the chance he would take it. Cell phones are a joy to have but not always when you’re in the hunt mode. A friend texted looking for a phone number and just as Dave hit send, he looked to his left and there was the bear feeding on acorns! The bear’s head was down so Dave quietly raised his Excalibur crossbow. When the shot opportunity came, Dave squeezed the trigger. The bear ran by his stand at about 15 yards and Dave knew his shot was good. The bear disappeared into a beech thicket, but as Dave turned and looked over his right shoulder, he could see the bear piled up at about 45 yards. He determined no second shot was necessary as the bear soon expired. After sharing the news with his wife, Diane, he went to check out his prize. It turned out to be a real pretty sow, field dressing out at 120 pounds. Dave was pretty excited because he knew he had some mighty fine eating ahead! Thanks Dave and Diane for all of your work for Hunt of a Lifetime, and congratulations Dave on a fun hunt!
