I remember hearing about it before you even got back to post about it but I couldn't remember seeing a pic.

And anything said during the seasons should not be held against a hunter!

I can't complain too much. My bear made P&Y (18 1/16"). In fact, I was told to have a second measurer score it. He is about 7' and was over 400 lbs.

Saw one cub about 2 months before season started (and it was an accident, caught him next to the road).  Anyone want to help a idiot kill his first bear??????   :dunno: :dunno:

By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

2010 Is going to be a good year for Bears. I'm hearing of them being out and about on and off all winter this year. (no, they don't hybernate, just sleep for extended periods.) But with no real weather so far, there's food that's easier to get, (little critters and grasses), (yes, grasses are growing. I mowed my frigging back yard a week ago)

I didn't answer the poll.. Did I hunt Bears? Kinda/sorta. If you call keeping an eye out for Bears while I was Deer hunting, (hiking with weapons), or the two trips I made into a couple of my potential Bear producing spots actually hunting for Bear then I guess I did. Tag soup.
