Wenaha Spring Bear
« on: May 25, 2009, 09:00:56 PM »
Hey my name is Jason and this is my first post to the site.  Skinner and JoeVon got me into the site.  I'm from Kid Valley and like to hunt all animals in the state!  Here is a pic of my spring bear that I got last weekend.

That is a awesome bear!  I love the color.  I actually saw one almost identical to that this weekend but could not get a picture.  What is the story and how big was it?

First thank you for your positive feedback, to those of you looking for the story, my dad and i had just arrived where we were going to hunt for the weekend, barely had camp setup, and took off. I had found a good vantage point the weekend before and wanted to start there. We had only been glassing for about 2 minutes when my dad whistled and told me he had a bear spotted. We were able to get to 400yds and close the deal. Being my first WA bear I am very happy to take a color phase and to have my dad there was icing on the cake, doesn't get much better than that! Thanks again for welcoming a newcomer.

Nice Bear.  I love the color phase of the bears overthere.  I have shot 2 on the oregon side that were the same color.  One that was alittle blonder.  Hunted it twice and have only seen 1 black one
