High mountain, west side bear. Chock full of blueberries.  Definitely the bully of the bunch. Shot on the 3rd day of hunting on a 9 day backcountry trip. Sow and cub day one, small bore day two. Three other bears on the hill the day we took this one. Long days packing this guy out.

Thanks guys. Funny thing is my wife was spending too much time contemplating if she was going to shoot the smaller bear in the snow field below, but he started to walk away out of her range. We started focusing on another bear on the hill as a possibility, still keeping tabs on the snow field bear. As the snow field bear reached the trail into the woods, he immediately turned around and hauled butt out of there. What followed was the block head bully. Didn't take long to decide he was the one!

Called in a nice boar yesterday. Came in slow and quiet to 40yds. 3 for 3 in our group! :IBCOOL:
Nice bear!  I recently added a Bakcou folding deer trailer to my bike setup and it worked pretty well and was fairly stable on logging roads, even some of the older ones.  Rode it about 6 miles past the locked gates on opening day.  Didn't see any bears but the bike setup worked great, and even allowed me to take a small cooler with ice cold drinks...

Nice job.

You said long days of pack out. Wow. That must have been a doozy of a hike. Sounds like a great hunt.

Not the biggest, but the Lord blessed me with this beautiful phased bear that will not only make a great wall hanger but also 2 descent hams and a nice 40lbs of summer sausage.

Aug 4, Sherman 101, called in with fawn distress, 70yd shot, went 10 yds and the rest is me sharing with you good folks.

Congrats. I like the color. Looks like a tasty one. I bet even that old scarred up Berry patch one will be pretty good since he’s been marinating himself in blueberries.

JimmieD, nice bear! If you have a good summer sausage recipe as well, I'm all ears!

We started work on the bear @ about 5:30pm. Stashed the hide in the stream, loaded all the meat on my pack and all of our gear on my wifes for the pack out to low camp by 8:00pm. Got into low camp @ 1230 am. Next morning @ 9:00 am we hike the last 5 miles out to the car and dropped the meat at a friends house to cool. I hiked back in to low camp that afternoon, minus the wife since her feet got destroyed on the pack out. Got up the next morning and hiked in to get the hide, dropped it off in the ice chest in the rig and hike back to camp(15.15 miles for that day alone). Packed out camp the next morning. 

Babies don't sleep as well as I did when I got home!

That's working it!  Nice bear, and great effort.  Good job.

The boys and I found success in Wa this weekend. After sitting over a prime spot for a couple hours I let the boys take turns on the call for 45 mins and this Boar decided to come take a look. Had to grind  to get him out but it worked out  and the boys worked their butts off right along side me. Dream come true.
