Hunting & Fishing: Peanut Butter Does the Trick

By Rick Hogge

— My friend, Mark Goodwin, invited me on a bowhunt for black bear in Nova Scotia, Canada. I was joined on the trip by my good friend Tom Cardoza. We packed our coolers and hunting gear in Tom\’s pickup and drove over to Mark\’s house. We got on the road around 6 a.m. It was a long 13-hour ride to our destination.

We arrived at our guide\’s place and began to unpack. We were staying on a farm owned by the guide. The outfitter was Stewiake Valley Outfitters. The following day was Sunday. Our hunt didn\’t start until Monday afternoon, so we took a little ride down to the city of Halifax to see the sites. It\’s a nice city with lots to see. Monday we headed out at 1 p.m. I was in my stand and ready to hunt 30 minutes later.continue
