2025 NORTH CAROLINA BEAR HUNT

North Carolina Bear hunt recap

The Patriot Pursuit crew and hunters arrived Friday afternoon to be greeted with a low country boil. The food, fellowship and overall evening was top notch. The kids were entertained with a bounce house thus leaving us with an impression that it can’t get any better than this !

Then it did ! Saturday morning found Josh sitting in a blind over an active bait. As he climbed in there were bears at the bait and they didn’t go far and as soon as they crew slipped out the bears came right back to the bait and the end result of the weekend hunt will be posted in the pictures.

As Josh found himself waiting on some help retrieving his bear Brandon Tay was with the houndsmen experiencing the rush of dogs in hot pursuit. The mornings chase didn’t result in a bear, so that evening Brandon slipped up to the blind and delivered a well placed shot to his bear.

While we skinned and cleaned up the bears the hunting party gathered for an amazing meal with Elk stuffed peppers and pizza among other fixings and deserts.

After another team breakfast and a fast paced chase with the hounds the run was followed up with a team member as Marty Byrne was given the chance to ascend the 600 yard vertical climb, crossing 2 mud slides from hurricane Helene from 2024. The team tied up the hounds and Marty dropped the hammer.

This evening the crew and their families enjoyed a chicken fajita dinner.

Again everyone assembled for breakfast and departed for the days attack plan. The hounds followed the script to a T and were fast to run the bear. After a visual of the bear during the chase the decision was made to cut off the dogs and allow the young bear to escape

The culmination of the teams generosity, expertise and friendship made this a top notch experience for our Marine, A 2 time Purple Heart veteran and our Army, active duty highly decorated officer. These men carried themselves professionally, supported one another and were an absolute pleasure to get to know. There’s no doubt we’ll be seeing them afield in the future.

Patriot Pursuit inc. is grateful to the Mike Frizsell family and farms for their hospitality. Their friends and fellow houndsmen who showed up enthusiastically to see that our team was shown an amazing experience. Thank you @taylor frizsell and corey Buice for putting this together and providing for patriot pursuit inc. we already cant wait to be back !
