Missed a real pretty bear twice last night, still not sure what happened. 150 yards rock solid rest pretty calm etc snow was kicking up at the muzzle but I feel it was from the muzzle blast and not the actual bullet as it seemed to have a few inches of clearance over the snow. Very disappointed. lots of bears out and about right now though. I've seen 6 and 4 cubs over the last 3 days.

I'm heading over to Thompson falls in the morning and when I saw this thread I got really excited. Until I looked into buying a tag and it said you can't use it for 24 hours after purchasing it. Now I'm sad.

I went back 4 days later and got him. Small 5' red boar, but hes my first and I couldnt be happier. Took a buddy out yesterday and saw one right off the bat. Then the weather moved in. Looking pretty nasty for the next few days.

We seen a lot of bear sign and 4 bear. Only had a few days to hunt  and got it done the third day. Not huge but my first bear. Couldn't be happier.
