Summary of 2008 Fall Hunt
Thank you once again for choosing Yvon & Sons for your bear guiding service.  Yvon & Sons have just recently completed another successful year of providing high quality bear guiding service to its customers.

We are currently planning for this year's hunt.  A total of 51 bears were harvested last fall, representing a 94% success rate.  The largest bear taken this fall was approximately 504 lbs. with 6 1/4 inch pads.  (Congratulations Scott Biedenbach Group from Pennsylvania, a real trophy).  Also taken, were 15 bears over 300 lbs.
