PD, if you are feeling particularly dumb next year, we can apply as partners. I have plenty of points. :bdid:


H&W, why wait until next year?  I feel particularly dumb most of the time!   :P

Pd I had six points this year. I was surprised when I drew. This unit was my third choice. When the spring hunts first came out odds were good. Now they are very popular. I think the odds would be a lot better if all that applied had seen the terrain of these units. It's big rough country. This bear took me about three hours to get up to the road. And he wasn't  near the bottom. Or it would have been a lot worse. I am very thankful for drawing and the chance to hunt some beautiful country.

Congrats on a nice bear go4! My bro in law and I had that tag last year and we had a blast. Lots of cool country. We didn't tag any bears but we were close a few times. Great job! :tup:

Slim, thanks! I enjoy seeing the bulls and bucks as much as the hunt. This year it was muddy and a bit scary at times to get around. In a few places if you went of the road your done :yike:This was the first good weekend as far as roads, since it started. But if guy has four wheelers you would have been fine most of the season.

Yeah we used quads where it was legal too, but there were a few spots that if you slid off the road you were in for a loooong ride. We spotted 8 bears in 3 days. We had a really cool bear at 400 yards but he wouldn't present the right angle. It had a blonde body, black legs and had a brown streak from nose to tail! We called him the punk rock bear. He was done if he had turned broadside but it wasn't meant to be. Still had a great time!
