Bear Hunting "Game Changer"

[KFhunter]

I suspect Grizz will come in on a string if they heard a fawn bleating or rabbit squalling.

something to keep in mind for all you predator callers 


good thing I use an Ecaller, imagine using mouth calls and have a grizz come in charging through the brush 40mph at you?

I may have some freetime to bear hunt in idaho soon.  If i do it will be in a grizz area, and ecalls are not allowed.  Pretty dumb to not allow e callers in a grizz area, but it is what it is.  Hand call game.

I guess the young guy last fall walked in to his bait, saw a large bear on his bait and blasted it. It was a collared grizzly, after the animal was dead for a short time and not moving, the collar gave off a mortality signal, IDFG was there in short order.

There are griz in north Idaho, in northeast Washington, and in northwest Washington, hunters should be very certain they know the difference between blacks and grizz before they go hunting! You know the importance of safe sex, this is probably even more important than that.

Be safe, take the bear tests, pass them all with 100%! 

Are there really Grizzlies in Northwest Washington? Never heard that before. Always thought they were in Northeast WA. Where in particular - close to Canada?

Just went to the Montana site and took the test. Got 100% on the first try...hope I never run into one though. I did in Montana at Glacier National Park. Crazy beasts that make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I was in the Selway Idaho hunting and a grizz got killed.  People always think they are big, this grizz was 300lbs at best.

It's hard to believe a hunter couldn't pass the Montana test with less than a 100%.  The differences between the two are very distinct.

 Now, if it is charging towards me I'm pretty darn sure my identification skills would go to *ell in a heartbeat!  The awareness drill surely can't hurt any of us though.

The only ones I ever had issues with on those tests are the "which species left this track?" questions, frankly I'm not planning on shooting tracks so I could kinda care less anyway

They keep using Grizz as a reason to shut down roads in NE WA. More and more every year.  Lib tards don't want anyone in the hills.

I took test and there are some intentional vague pics of color phase black bears that can be hard to identify.  I tell you in a split second decision it can be hard but if its charging it don't matter-bang.  It is not as easy as some think.  If you have time to watch there is no excuse for mistakes if educated.  Republic area has grizzly. It seems they are territorial to black bears.

When was the last time they closed a road?  There are lots of gated roads, but they have been that way for a decade or so....

Actually, you probably wouldn't hear him until he was right on top of you.  They are an amazingly silent animal when they want to be.

Really though, I doubt the danger posed is any more significant on a percentage basis than black bears are. 

I know a couple of guys that have had them come in to a cow call while archery hunting.  That said, I've logged a lot of hours bowhunting in prime grizzly bear country and have had no issues with them.

i haven't heard of any roads closers but the area I hunted turkey last year up by power lake is now gated with no vehicle access

That's not Grizzly Bear Recovery Area.  More than likely the roads up there are getting closed because that whole area get overrun with dirtbags and trashed every weekend.

There are signs everywhere talking about Grizzly bear and how they recover better with less human interaction.  Salmo Priest area to name one, and Northern Idaho as well.
