Our 2017 spring bear hunt.

[trophyhunt]

Starts tomorrow, kinda, driving most the day tomorrow and will be at it Thursday -next Tuesday.  I hunt spring bear with my dad so I can't be one of those animal die hards that hike 10 miles in!  But we have had a really good success rate in the past years, one year killing 2 bears in one day, 2 years ago I killed my best bear.  I absolutely love spring bear, next to elk hunting it's my favorite hunt.  Look forward to being in Gods country and getting away from work , traffic and responsibilities!  Will post picks along the way if I can.  First photo is the gear just sprayed down with permithin, second is our home for the week.

Good luck Trophy. I've been wondering when this thread was gonna pop up. I can't wait to see what you drum up. It's a great year and you should hit the green up and onions just perfectly. Plus, this warm up we are having should really get them moving. I predict you'll see multiple bears each day.

Thanks a ton man, I sure hope your right.  It's so hard to wait so long to go but waiting seems to work out.  There have been a couple serious boars killed this year, hopefully there is a few more out there.  Thanks again!

I've had those spring tags 4 times and been on many other spring hunts. I guarantee the best time to hunt is the last two weeks in May. As long as the calves haven't dropped (which they haven't), it'll be epic.

A good buddy had a tag last year and we saw 9 bears the first day. Good stuff.

good choice on the permithin. just got back for a regroup and will head back over for the rest of the season in a couple of days. The ticks were terrible , but the hunting is just starting to heat up. the next couple of weeks should be red hot. good luck!

Good luck man, get your dad one this year! My old man will be over there Thursday, camping at three forks. Swing in and have a beer. I'm headed to the Oregon side  of the wenaha Friday morning until Tuesday hoping to fill my spring tag. Heard it's getting good!

Good luck guys

Never thought about the permithin affecting the leather, I guess we'll find out!  Been hearing the ticks are bad, hate those buggers. Sounds like the wolves are also around.  Hey 7-mag if your driving through Troy stop by and grab a beer, good luck on your hunt!  Magnum, you going to be in the area hunting too?  Stop by if so, and good luck.  Thanks guys, just need to get through 4 hours of work today!
