First bears sighted
« on: April 30, 2020, 05:48:16 AM »
I saw the same sow with 3 little black specks last year. Seems this year she’s still enjoying being a mom with them. Picture is from my living room, with my bino’s with my phone held against it so really blurry.

The picture from last year you can’t even make out the 3 cubs stacked around her!
May my presence go unnoticed, may my shot be true, may the blood trail be short.

Amen

I'm well into double digits on bears this spring. The state needs to open all GMUs to spring apps or have a general season draw in the spring.

Absolutely. You're not going to get this state to open up a OTC spring general season,  and they don't seem to like the 1st come 1st served type approach, so why not have a "fair" spring general draw? It makes absolutely ZERO sense to not have many of these GMU's opened for spring bears. Hell, come shoot 2 in the fall, but oh no, not even 1 in the spring.

I am confused.... there already is a draw?

I think they mean a spring draw but have it open in all units that are open in fall to those who drew the spring tag

I saw a good sized color phase blackie just above Barker Canyon (Banks Lake) on Sunday.  Was a beautiful buckskin/blonde color, it made my day!
