Spring bear down
« on: May 19, 2019, 12:00:37 PM »
Saw 3 different bears yesterday but was finally able to connect last night around 5.  Shot was only about 100yds leading to a 30 yard recover.

That was a nice colored bear.  Missed one like that about 10 years ago.  Hoping to get another shot at one again.  If you don't mind me asking, where do you send the tooth to get it aged?  Link?  My son killed a nice boar 6 years ago in the Wenaha and I've always wanted to get it aged.  I kept the tooth and it sits here in my desk drawer waiting to go to a lab.  Thanks and again, congrats on the success in 2019!

Call your regional office and ask them to mail a tooth envelope to you
