2022 Season hunts

[huntnnw]

Starting a thread to post our season pics and stories here instead of many multiple posts and Ill just update it through out the year if we have scouting pics, hunts and trails cam pics etc. This season is going to be super busy! Ill be bowhunting elk and whitetails in WA and might get in a WA bear hunt. Wife and I have already started hunting ID spring bears, we both have ID rifle elk, MT deer and elk combos and I drew a UT late rifle tag in Manti. Still have the draws left in WA,ID and NV.

Excited to follow along. 

For us, son has an Eastern Oregon Spring Bear Tag we are heading out Friday.  Can't draw anything yet (waiting on Idaho Moose results) and then will have Nevada, Arizona, Oregon and Washington left but mostly in for premium tags.

I have a combo Moose and Grizzly hunt in Alaska in September and a Late Season Bull Tag in New Mexico.

In Alaska I am hunting with same outfitter I hunted the Brown Bear in my avatar with last spring (happy to share more via PM), and I have a land owner voucher for New Mexico but hunting up near Chama.  Congrats on 16d tag!

Several bears showing now and starting Thursday we will get serious sitting at baits till Sunday then following Thursday to Sunday if we still have tags. Checked baits Monday and 2 nights in a row the biggest bear we have on cam coulda been killed around 8:30 pm. Hopefully next post is myself or wife with him. We also have another really good one at another bait , but he’s been a little sporadic.

Other bear

This morning the wife went up to our bait in Idaho to see if she could catch one of the bears that have started frequenting it this past week. Baits have really ramped up in daylight activity this week. The particular bait she went to had 4 different bears on it in the daylight this week. She snuck in and there was a bear there at first light. 1 shot and the bear was down in 30 yards. While waiting another chocolate bear walked in. Once recovering the bear we noticed it was a battle beat up sow. She was missing her upper front teeth, lots of healed scars on muzzle, a recent 4” tear in her groin into the muscle and multiple punctures in rear legs.

First pic is the bear she killed on trail cam.

Pic is of the bear that came in while she was waiting. I’ll be up hoping the big black one shows up this weekend.
