My spring Bear hunt has ended
« on: May 24, 2014, 02:10:52 PM »
I was able to find this guy. After fighting bad roads the last few weekends. This weekend I was able to get to where I wanted to hunt. I set out for a hike in an area I wanted to hunt. Seen a few bulls but no bears. So I hiked out and moved to another good vantage point. After about five minutes of being there I decided to glass back where I had just hiked out of. And there he was feeding where I had just been :yike: So I knew just where to go. An hour later I was 100 yards above him. He had moved less than 75 yards from where I last seen him. I watched him flipping rocks and feeding for a while. The wind was starting to swirl so the next time he turned broadside I dropped him in place.

Mt. View. I normally don't post units. But I just asked how the roads were in that unit a few days ago. So  I can't hide the area

And I normally wouldn't ask what unit, but I figured you had already posted about it in another thread. I just couldn't remember. Besides, these are permit hunts and they all can be good hunts if you put in the time. I don't think any of the east side permits are much better or worse than any other.

Congrats!! :) beautiful blondie!!
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

Congratulations.  This has been a bucket list hunt for me for a while (every year not selected...you know the routine).  Wow, out in the open field like that?  Well done.   :tup:

I use a space blanket to keep the meat clean while I bone it out. It also helps cool the meat with the wind hitting it while I'm working on it, before I put it in the pack. It's like having a tarp, and it weighs about 2 ounces.

Beauty of a bear. Congrats
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
