By way of introduction I spent most of my life in the Upper Skagit Valley, North Cascades, in Washington state. Harvested my first blactail and black bear at the age of nine. Hunted until 3 years ago when I retired to California. During that time I was fortunate enough to hunt in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado and BC. Towards the end of my hunting life I lost the urge to pull the trigger and just enjoyed seeing the animals and enjoying the camp life. Brad
