Fournier's Guide Service
Some of my best memories are with my father hunting everything from turkey to deer to crows. As a young girl I can remember making the long trip up to Jackman with thefourwheelers loaded in the back of the pickup and that sweet smell the bait gave off. I always loved going up to help do whatever I could. I remember sitting around waiting for everyone to come back from hunting to see all of the trophy bears, all the smiling faces, and most of all the great stories that will stay with me forever. My favorite memory is the moment my 278 pound black bear walked into my bait site. I remember watching him for the longest time; fascinated, scared, excited but above all the emotions I sat waiting for the perfect shot. Finally the moment came when I put the cross hairs on him and let him have it. Nothing in the world gave me a better feeling than that did. I wish I could play that moment over and over again, but I know I can always come back the next year and try again. Although last year I did not get the opportunity to shoot one I was able to see a mother and four cubs! The entire season I sat in the same stand waiting for the bear I kept seeing to give me a clean shot. Later in the week I had the opportunity to switch or stay and I chose to stay and I never got the chance to get him. I guess what I’m trying to say is you will never know how it turns out but you will always walk away with an awesome experience!
