Had a chance at a 100# +/- this morning opted not to shoot. Also seen a kid with a boar in the 125-150# range. His first bear, waiting to see a pic on here, not sure if he's a member or not.

2 bear limit man, shoot it  :chuckle:
:chuckle: I didnt even think of that!  :bash:
Shut up and Hunt!

Awesome! Nice one.
 Heard a shot late afternoon. Waiting to see who else got one.

Good luck, friends. I'll have to hunt vicariously through all of you until September 5th. Knock 'em down!

Shot a real good one this morning.  He lit out 100mph straight into an absolute hellhole.  Cant find him, nor even a drop of blood.  I had to have gotten him.  Impossible to miss shot.  This is the crap im trying to find him in.  Wish me luck.

You'll get him mister... half moon circles starting at the last spot  you saw, or heard him.... Once you cut that blood, he'll probably be close if you hit him solid.

If you can't find him today, i would be willing to buzz up there tomorrow morning and help look
