An Adaptive Sportsman in Quebec

This spring, I had the opportunity to fulfill a long held dream of mine . . . to go on a spring bear hunt. My friend had worked out a deal with an outfitter that I had hunted with before, and even with the high gas prices we were able to get an affordable hunt. Although I had been bear hunting in the fall several times, spring bear hunts are a quite different phenomenon. The weather is much nicer in the spring but the black flies and mosquitoes were out in full force. However, I found a new product called Thermacell that made handy work of keeping them away. It only took two days and I had my first spring bear.
As I was the first to fill my tag, I was elected to the post of camp cook and bottle washer for the rest of the week. While some might protest this job, I also had the pleasure of catching, cleaning and cooking some great tasting fish.
Kudos go to the outfitter, (Magnum Outfitters-Paul Bertrand) who provided clean, comfortable cabins and an outstanding guide. Thanks to him and his family I had a great trip.
