The Dog Outfitters

After hunting in 2018 with Robbie McLennan rom "The Dog Outfitters" I knew I would be back, and that next year I drew a Bear tag, so I called Robbie to set my hunt up.As Bear hunting started in Sept, Robbie started sending me trail Cam pictures of alot of big Bears he had working the bait's.The weather was cool and looking good, but as soon as I got to Millersbrg for the hunt the weather warmed up and the bear slowed moving until after dark, as with my Dad's hunt the year before. So opening day was on a Sunday, and the bears were hitting the baits at all different times, middle of the day, and night so I did what most bear hunters don't do, I got on stand an hour before light and sat until dark. I saw a Huge Bear at sun up as it started raining hard, and continued all day, but no good shot to take.Long story short, I hunted from Sun up to sun down Sun thru Friday, on a few different stands, never the same stand twice, all the bears were moving at night from the heat that came in that week. But I had nothing to do but so I was in the woods.On Friday morning just exhausted from the heat and sitting, Robbie put me in a high tree that my Nephew Jake Adlen Shot a nice one out of the week before. Robbie said he had a feeling on this stand today, and that's where he wanted me.I went into the stand around 3:30 that day (only day no morning hunt)and around 5:30 pm the Bear came in, he was a nice one and worth the taking, he appeared at about 30 yards out, and took about 40 mins to get in range for a safe shot in the thick swamp.He went right down, I text Robbie and he was there pretty quick with his team.The hunt was great, a week of solid Hinting, and night time with great people.The first Bonus was I took a nice Michigan Black Bear out of the same stand as my Nephew.The Second was the Bear Michigan Record book.As I said in my Dad's review below, our family are accomplished Hunters, it was a treat to have Robbie's Professionalism, Integrity, and Knowledge take over so we could just sit back and hunt !!This could spoil a Hunter!!Thank you Robbie, and the Dog Crew!!
