Bearpaw Season 2024

[bearpaw]

Brian drilled his first deer ever, he just decided he wanted to start hunting last year, and he scored on this solid Montana Whitetail yesterday evening!

We’ve seen some more nice bucks and bulls that survived the season in Idaho, we will be looking for them next year:

Something I want to throw out, we've got too many cougar and bear running around the properties this year, we don't normally include bear on a whitetail hunt, but this year we didn’t have many bear hunters in WA so I am asking our deer hunters to please also buy bear and cougar tags, there will be no extra charge even if you are lucky enough to get all three animals during your deer hunt!

We are excited to come over and I'll make sure the wife has her bear tag, but it looks like most of those Colville area GMUs are already closed to cougar based on quotas: https://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations/big-game/cougar

...which is crazy, because there's a lot of cats over there.

Mike smoked this buck on outlet Montana deer hunt!

We were excited for our Washington hunt to start, we had been seeing some good bucks. The biggest fellas disappeared for several days but we have been notching tags on some younger bucks. Greg is the first photo with his buck, next is Cole with his first deer ever, next is Dave with his buck, and lastly is Tom with his buck.

After the last guys notched their tags some of the better bucks showed up again, fingers crossed that the next hunters get them! They must be starting to look for does?

Steve got another nice buck on our Montana hunt, even better than his buck last year. Congrats Steve!

And the turkeys can’t wait for spring to get here, this is a yesterday photo! It's almost like they knew they were posing for the camera.

The last hunters all killed bucks, but we didn't get any of the five largest bucks we had on camera prior to season.

Top photo is Kevin with his buck, then Jeff with his buck, and last is Hayley with her buck. Hayley also got two fall turkeys.

Lars also came to hunt fall turkey and nailed two, but I only have one photo.

We’ve seen some pretty nice animals that made it through hunting season.
