Always spot and stalk hunt if you want the 450 pound black bears. This guy fooled hunters for over 3 years but not this spring. A very cold and windy day but Brett stuck it out in a tree stand until he could not take it any more. About to get down he spied this bruin nearly 20 yards away. The bear dropped in it's tracks. We needed to hook him to the truck to drag him out of the trench. Next a 300 plus brown bear.
