Idaho bear down
« on: April 28, 2013, 05:09:02 PM »
Got invited to try Idaho for spring bears since I didn't draw Washington and it didn't disappoint. We caught him walking to his bed and sat on him for about 1 1/2 hours and he finally got up. We saw 3 bears on this trip, they are just coming out. This guy is my best yet. He was only 5'2" but had a good head on him and he was heavy. I LOVE CHASING BRUINS!!!







The crew. Thanks for the help guys.
