Only yankin' your chain, man. Just a little deduction. The White Mountains aren't exactly destination #1 for black bear hunting in the U.S. but they are for bull elk. I would venture a guess that many non residents who come early to the area would slap a black bear hunt on the to do list whilst out scouting. Good luck with the tag! Here's some photos I snapped up there couple of years back.http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php?topic=57698.msg710246#msg710246
Congrats! But isn't a 10 yard recovery pretty much impossible to evaluate the blood trail? Good luck on the elk, too!
Nice bear, where abouts did you get her, Big lake area? I grew up in the Springerville area, lots of pretty country but the only bear I've ever seen in AZ was the one by cousin plugged on the Kiabab. There's not much better then high mountain Arizona trout fishing this time of year, it's the best way to beat the heat.
