Had to add something in here...

politics is getting too depressing.

Good luck to all this upcoming season. Be safe!

I'd shoot the first decent bear I saw. I would like a color phase bear or one with a big blaze though.

I voted "first bear I see".  I am going for my first bear but obviously I am not going to shoot anything to small or with cubs.  Just looking for a decent bear in an area I can harvest it without it spoiling.  This heat is going to be brutal.  Early morning and late evening hunts unless it is near the truck or a creek.  Any respectable bear will be a trophy for me.  
Definitely not another spouse...but maybe a dirty little sow for a mistress.   :drool:  :chuckle:

OK, I have but one Bear. I could have taken more over the years, but I have one. I bought tags for my two boys and I again this year and hope to get them in the high country once Baseball season is over. This'll be the first time for them roughing it on a long hike and bivwackin it so to speak. So, I won't shoot anything unless it's bigger than the one I've got. Yet I won't let either son shoot something with a mangie coat of hair. Still I'd like either of my boys to get a Bear. That would be really cool.

Mamma wouldn't like the taxi bill, but that'd be really cool.

First, I want my girlfriend to get her first bear.

Then I want to get one that's just slightly bigger...  If it's bigger than my last year's bear, and has a nice color phase, we'll do rugs.  But, we primarily want the meat.

I voted "nice hide".  I would like a decent sized bear with a nice hide so I can get it rugged out.  I would like to try to take it with my 45 Colt Blackhawk, but if I can't get close enough the 30-06 will have to do the job again.

I voted 1st bear also, but like others it needs to be at least "decent", I definately don't want one that aint no bigger than a good sized lab like a couple people I know!!

I voted first bear.  I will not shoot a sow or cub, but would like to take my 1st bear this year.

as for the second spouse....  you people must be a glutton for punishment.... what man wants two (2) women in the house, nagging, pmsing, telling him no, both having constant "headaches", etc...... one is bad enough..  I almost want to start a fight, so she will quit talking....   :rolleyes:  :chuckle:
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.

Gotta go color.......One choco under the belt and 7 blacks .  Time for cinn or blonde.  Multi colored would be cool.  I prefer blue with black stripes.

Last years 2 bears were #10 and #11 for me, but only one with a bow. I have a rug, head-mount and now a 1/2 mount and won't be shooting any more for the wall unless I luck onto a real pig. I do want to spot and stock a high country bear with my bow. Can't wait to try it.

Littlejohn.... you can never have too many.  I have two rugs (one black and one choco) , a 1/2 mount, a 3/4 mount, and this one is for Hound Hunter.  Is this one small enough for ya?   It was an accident though.
