Logan Poling - Rifle Elk 2025
​Shout out to Russell Pond & BBarC Outfitters for a fun successful week in the backcountry of Idaho. Went out west for something special and had a lot of great opportunities and memories hunting bears. Passed up a several good bears throughout the week and came down to the last hour of the last day to get my opportunity I was waiting for. Thanks again to my guides Raymond and Tom, and of course Inga for hosting me.
