Bear Of A Lifetime!

A 717LB North Carolina Giant

"Throughout our lives, I believe we all have sets of experiences that so greatly exceed our expectations that we find ourselves woefully short of enough time or diction to accurately describe them. Their impact is monumental to our lives in many ways. Such was the morning of December 10, 2022 for me."

Common Sense, Common Courtesy, & A Common Cause

Common Sense, Common Courtesy, & A Common Cause

It's not cool to be the outlaw or to be the nomad. That old way of life that held allure for so many is a problem in the hunting world. We bear hunters must have common sense, common courtesy, & a common cause to secure our future.

"This story is one about diversity and loyalty in unexpected places. It’s a revelation of the uses of resources for occupation and recreation. It’s also the story of the reversal of roles, of students becoming teachers and of learners leading the learned. At the heart of the story are hounds in pursuit of bears, bobcats, coyotes, and raccoons, and the recognition that perhaps breed, despite long standing loyalties, doesn’t matter as much as the outcome. This is the story of a Northwoods lad that took to hound hunting at a very young age and learned a lifelong trade that became his passion for 61 years. Michael Piontek, a career lumberjack and houndsman, was 10 years of age when he got started."
