Exactly...ZERO. Doesn't stop me from trying. Work seems to get in the way. I had spoken with Dale last year about heading out that way for his non-guided hunt and when he found out who I was and my success rate he suggested next year!  :chuckle: :o :dunno:

Not a single one because I have never cared for bear meat,. Any of you guys that like bear meat, but dont pack out the hides want to get me on a bear? I'd be willing to give up meat for a nice bear rug. :chuckle:

Im in, I dont need a rug, anybody who wants to private message me right away when you get a bear down, Ill come pack the whole thing out, you can keep the pelt.....only fresh though, not 3 days after the shot.
