In this latest installment in our mini-series, How To Be A Bear Hunter, we talk to Dante Zuniga-West about hunting pumpkin-headed monsters. We talk stillness, visualization and readiness, as well as Dante’s favorite bear gun and loads. Dante came to hunting by way of prep school in Bel Air. He is a mild-mannered high school principal, the offspring of educators, he holds a master’s degree from an art institute and he is the Backwoods Blaxican. He grew up searching out and reading hunting magazines then found his way into the Northwest. Now he lives on a farm in western Oregon and hunts bear and deer and grouse in the Coast Range.

We go back to our roots to bring you this episode from The Lost Nosler Tapes. These were the conversations I had with Big John Nosler back in the early 2000s. These tapes were the basis on which I wrote John's story - Going Ballistic and for the next book, Bob Nosler Born Ballistic. When I found these tapes, I digitized them to save the conversations.

Our guest is Eric Lee, a cougar depredation specialist in western Oregon. When a mountain lion killed his wife's favorite goat, Eric realized he could do something about it.

Cats that thrill kill. That spree kill. That hunt in groups. Some of what you will hear here is startling.
