Your experience was exceptional. I had a tag for that area but didn't get one. Talked with several others and they didn't see a bear all season. That must be a real hot spot to be able to see, what, four bears in one evening!!!?

Apparently the key is to find a bear trail or crossing? I'm new to bear hunting and would appreciate whatever advise is available.

Congratulations!

I took my bear out to Charlie's on Tuesday to have him start the rug process. He P.M.'ed me yesterday to let me know he had found my bullet while fleshing out the hide and also gave me some measurements.

Fleshed out he went 7 foot and I see you shoot barnes bullets too  ;) Green score around 19 15/16 ish.


Thank you Charlie
