Summary of 2007 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 48 bears were harvested last fall, representing a 99% success rate. The largest bear taken this fall was approximately 545 lbs. with 6 1/2 inch pads. (Congratulations Rick Hutchmen from Michigan, a real trophy). Also taken, were 15 bears over 300 lbs.
For 2008 Fall Hunt
Attention Hunters: For those who book the first week,
your hunt starts on August 15. Try to be there, August 14,
the day before the hunt opens.
For Booking: First come, first served. If you book with me and bring along an extra 8 hunters, your hunt will be on us (accommodations, taxes, licenses extra). Your hunters can book the same week as you or the group may be divided in two.
