I would ride up with you if you guys need more help in the morning. I have trailed many animals over the years and I believe that I am on your way there. You know where I live. Just let me know.

Keep us posted on the bear. Be very thorough in your search, tricky critters

calib · « **Reply #14 on:** October 30, 2012, 10:59:48 PM »

yeah find him and post pics

Kc_Kracker · « **Reply #15 on:** October 30, 2012, 11:45:56 PM »

well no luck, its dark as dark gets, my son was having a cougar heart attack, 2 flashlights took a crap almost immediately, and it was pissing rain, it just got too ugly and dangerous out there, we advised better to be back at daylight, so were headed to bed and we will be back there in 6 hrs. sounds like the bear turned at the last second and was quartered away and may, may not have gotten a lung shot but did hit the dirt then get up and haul a$$ so hopefully we can find him come light, sounds like he was a good size bear

Ripper · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2012, 05:20:05 AM »

Best of luck to you guys, it's going to be challenging since it's been pissing rain all night, but it can certainly be done. I wish I could come down and help but I'm at work in Everett. I will be rooting for you though. I'm looking forward to some pic's later on today.

Best of luck finding the bear. It is good to see people putting the effort into finding it.

I hate when those stupid bears get up and run off

Woodchuck · « **Reply #22 on:** October 31, 2012, 08:23:43 AM »

Must have shot it with a .257 and then it tripped on a rock.

In all seriousness good luck finding that bugger.

Kc_Kracker · « **Reply #26 on:** October 31, 2012, 04:33:25 PM »

9 solid hrs today we covered roughly a 2000 sq yard grid, every inch, nothing, no blood no nadda. its forested but no undergrowth its like mossy lawn so easy to see. he said it was quartered away, i think it was hit but nothing fatal

there is though, a island 200 yards away we could not access to check, but the creek needing crossed is 15' wide and very deep and hard rushing water, it could have headed there but i scoped it pretty good and didn't see anything or id have went swimming

sorry BigGuy we tried

CementFinisher · « **Reply #29 on:** October 31, 2012, 11:20:20 PM »

I think he gave up when the butcher told his wife the meat was no longer any good of he was dead. something about internals being ruptured by then. he had to work today and Im not going to look for someone else's kill alone

Take a dog and go for a walk in the woods without a hunting weapon.....

As i just explained to another thread, we do have local gamies on this board, so far I have met TWO that patrol here

very cool dudes, and one I met yesterday we were shocked that he 1-already knew who we were 2. whey we were there 3. what we were looking for

I think its cool they are here and staying updated

sadly we asked about this suggestion, he said no, because since we are looking for an animal that could (heres why) POTENTIALLY BE ALIVE, then its still considered hunting by law and therefor breaking the rules. makes sense to me.

too bad they dont chime in and answer question for us where legality is concerned

maybe we could get the powers that be, to get together with one, and have a "ask the warden" forum

hntrspud · « **Reply #33 on:** November 01, 2012, 10:24:31 AM »

Very good suggestion KC. I agree

Kc_Kracker · « **Reply #34 on:** November 01, 2012, 10:35:21 AM »

i made a topic on this in general

jackmaster · « **Reply #35 on:** November 01, 2012, 10:35:38 AM »

i would bet that he missed, back when you could bait i took this guy huntn and he was telln me how good a shot he was and all this crap, well this bear comes in walks around a bit and back in the bush he goes, few minutes later he comes back but would only put his head out of the bushes, well this guy takes a head shot and that bear went down like a ton of s%^t, couple seconds later the bear jumps up and hauls butt, there was zero blood where the bear went down we still had 4 hours of daylight so we tore that mtn apart and on into the early morning, went home got some sleep and spent the next day lookn just to make damn sure, we still never even found a drop of blood......so hopefully your buddy missed just like this guy did that said he was this awesome crack shot....

Unless I have missed something, there is nothing in the reg saying you cannot retrieve game with a dog. You cannot hunt with a dog wich means your guns at home and get after it. This is what a gamie told me.

Kc_Kracker · « **Reply #37 on:** November 01, 2012, 11:18:22 AM »

then id follow that in that area, but the guy with the ticket book in this area, is the one im gonna follow because hes the one that would be staring at us

skagitsteel · « **Reply #38 on:** November 01, 2012, 08:10:00 PM »

I missed a bear this year that I thought was hit, it was walking on a log and when I fired it dropped off the log into the brush, but shot out of there real fast without making any noise,thought for sure it was hit. Looked for several hours not trace of blood or evidence that it even laid down. We retraced our steps and realized the bear was startled and fell of the log due to the hair cut I gave it with the -06. After seen 3 bears shot after the miss I realized they stagger pretty good and often make a lot of noise when hit, atleast for us (2 rolled instanly). The third one staggered before taking off as well as making a lot of noise.

Kc_Kracker · « **Reply #39 on:** November 02, 2012, 11:58:54 AM »

i agree, i really think it was hit but far from fatal, maybe just a punch through & through on some belly fat or something, seeing how it was quartered away just a slight bit in any direction could make it a very non fatal shot.
