Thanks! Yes, he was a pretty nice bear! I was thrilled with him. Took him in 2011 in the Lick Creek unit. Weighed in over 300 pounds and green scored just over 19 inches. Stalked him to about 75 yards with my rifle after seeing him on the next ridge. My most awesome hunt ever! I'm hoping for an even better one this year!

I am also going to try with my bow this year. I have taken 3 bears with my rifle so I would like to up the challenge level. Plus I love to spot-and-stalk hunt, so I am excited. I drew Wenaha, so it could be a HUGE challenge!!

That's a nice bear in your avatar. Love the color
That's the reason I'm gonna attempt to bow hunt this spring I've gotten 3 bears as well and just want a more of a challenge and get up and close with bears is an awesome experience too

I'm very excited about it!! Can't wait. I'm also going to try some calling this year....I've never tried that with bears.

 I've tried to do some recon in the area, but too much snow to get into my unit. Planning to scope it out again this weekend....things are just starting to green up where I live, so I'm hoping maybe some of the south slopes are greening up in the Wenaha too.

Good luck with your hunt!
