Black Bear Hunting 2023 | DISCOVERING


Subscribe:


Episode 51 - I'm back at John Rahn's Yooper Outdoors #906 Bear Camp for a 4th year. This is something I look forward to all year long. There's always plenty of bear hunting action here. It's like a big bear hunting family reunion every year, along with new faces for their first ever Michigan black bear hunts. This year I talk to all 3 John Rahns'. And now there's a 4th generation bear hunter in the family.

At the end of the show I have a quick blurb about the Wilderness Stewardship Plan that Isle Royale National Park has drafted, with three plan alternatives they want the public to comment on. See my other YouTube video with my interview with IRNP about the plan. Links here are to read the plan, and where you can comment on the plan. Comments are accepted until September 26, 2023.
