Archery King, you do not need to give away your honey hole just to inform us which unit you will be hunting. Each unit has lots of honey holes. I have hunted spring bear in the Blue Creek, Wenaha and Dayton unit and took mature boars in each. Good luck on your hunt. Rufous.

Of the 9 bears I have tagged so far the bear I took out of the Wenaha unit in May of 2001 was the biggest. He was 13 years old and his skull green scored 20". I figure his live weight at about 375# based on his girth. Just his 4 legs without paws or hide weighed 120#. His hide measured 77" from nose to tail and 88" front claw to front claw. He was a big boy. Here are a couple pics:
My spring bear in the Blue Creek unit was a 12 year old boar. I got him May of 2005. I did not recover the hide or skull but he was a good sized and obviously mature boar. Here is a photo of that one:
Finally here is a photo of the bear I took May of 2007 in the Dayton unit with my 45 Colt revolver. He was 7 years old and had a 17 and 7/8" skull and his hide measured 6'6". He weighed about 275#.
