I thought I had my story outlined. I thought the theme of the story was going to be about a great week of hunting spring black bear with North Shore Guide Service, and being out-smarted by cagey old boss bruins. Although present, not giving me a shot at them.Early on in this hunt, the decision had been made to hold out for a truly big boar. Evenings and mid-days were spent pouring over trail cam pictures that the guides collected on their baiting rounds each day. On the dozen or so baits, there were 5 big boars. The task at hand was to review the camera pictures and make the best choice to intercept a trophy boar.I had the boar anywhere from 13 yards to 10 feet for 10 minutes. I drew the recurve twice and about half draw another couple times. The sow lead that boar all around me. He dutifully trundled along behind her grunting with each step. Clearly, his only focus was her, he had dropped all his normal guards.
