awesome! Ill probly end up hunting bears there also. Already have the license and was thinking about trying an area with discounted bear tags. Whag dates are you looking at?

[Machias]

Depends on how much snow the mountains get this winter.  I'm kind of hoping for a average or less than average snowfall for the Avery, ID area.  If that happens, probably the last week in May.  Maybe even move it back towards the middle of May.  I have a couple of areas I can fall back if there is too much snow where I want to go.  Also will depend on how many slides in the area I want to go.  Going to go with my middle son.  Really looking forward to it.

That's awesome! I will of course be doing some spring bear in unit 4 and will prob be able to get some buddies also with the discount tags for this unit..

Sounds good to me once we get closure we will work out a plan.  Hopefully I or someone in my family is holding the moose tag next year!!

I got a couple if you need one.  I usually only run one site a year.

[Bango skank]

Ill be hunting spring bear in unit 1 unless i draw my spring bear tag here.  Went over in may this year and have been kicking myself in he ass for not having brought my rifle and a bear tag.

If no one else takes you up I could sure borrow a barrel.

id hunt closer to the end of May early and mid may is very spotty and not real good in alot of areas.

I've got a hunt planned in the frank church this spring, can't frickin wait. I'm thinking the first week of June

[boneaddict]

I didn't know you could even get into the Frank Church in June.

  I cant get into unit 18 in June only partially into unit in mid June

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

I missed a good boar this year in Idaho.  Nice red coat on him too.  I was muley hunting and came across him.  Would have spent my second deer tag on him after already killing a little buck.  He looked 250 ish. 

[Ridgerunner]

I've always thought this would be a fun hunt, one of these years, I'm going to make it happen. 

[boneaddict]

I think we have a mutual friend that does pretty well down there.   I've always thought about hooking up with him and doing a little color phase chasing.

  I cant get into unit 18 in June only partially into unit in mid June

River crossings can get a little hairy
