Backcountry Black Bears
with

Oswold's Pack Camp

Hello and thank you for stopping by.  We just returned from a wonderful seven day backcountry bear hunting trip that I would love to share with you.  I will be updating this story over the next few days as I organize the pictures and events.  I hope you will come back as the story unfolds, and I hope you find some measure of enjoyment from our journey and exposure to Idaho Black Bears!

It was a fantastic experience for me and I am excited to share it with you!

This hunt started for me one year ago while I was at the Idaho State Bowhunters Jamboree.  I was speaking with Larry Velvick (President of Idaho Bowhunters) as he told me about his many years of hunting bears with Ralph Oswold.  I was so caught up in idea of going into the backcountry on horses that I told Larry to put me on the list for next years group of bowhunters.

Then the waiting and preparation began.
