Congratulations, thats a good looking bear, hope your going to at least an the hide.  Have you checked any of the public land area's up around Springdale and Hunters area for deer hunting.  Also, any of the backside of Mt. Spokane holds good deer numbers as well.

I sent the hide in to be tanned, but i think thats as far as i will go with it.  Some of my friends think i should make it into a body mount give it a picnic basket and name it "Boo Boo."  About the deer hunting... I have spent two scouting trips running around the Colville national forest.  Opening day last year i went back on  some of the roads and they were gated with a fence.  I couldn't walk through it or around it.  there was a sign about having to be a member or a guest to access the area.  To say the least i was upset.  I have also been talking to some farmers north of town.  I have permission to hunt on one small ranch, but the last two years the farmer has only let me use my shotgun, and plus the deer herds seem to be all does.  Maybe i will scout out Mt. Spokane this weekend and see whats up.  Thanks for the info.

How long did you wait to see if there was momma around before you shot?

NICE JOB!  Your first bear and big game animal, that is cool.  And you did it after sticking with it for a few years and it sounds like not much help from an "old timer".  That is rewarding, stick with your hunting and getting those girls involved too is a good thing. Teaching other young people (myself too) that it is ok to go out and 'earn some meat' the hard way is a good lifestyle and an important thing to do.

What would it matter? The regs say nothing about shoot yearlings with sows.

Great job on your first, no matter what, the first is always the most memorable.  Great to see you got the ladies involved in the experience also.  Always good to have new folks getting involved into the sport...  Good luck for future game...
