I bet we see pictures of a Pig of a boar soon. Rufous has those bears figured out!

Rufous, if you haven't killed one by next weekend, I'll be up there and I could show you where I saw "the one that got away" last year.

good luck and keep us posted :)

Wow, congrats on drawing those tags. Nice pics of the bears you have taken so far, and good luck with the one you are after this year. Hope it all goes well for you.

I spotted what looked to be a mature boar this evening. It was about 1500 yards or so away across a big canyon. No time to get over there but I plan to go in after him in the morning and hopefully will spot it again.

Awesome Rufous!   Good chance he'll be there.  Usually find em' within an hour or so..  PM sent

Shag, which pistola kill? Are you referring to the one I took May of 2007 or September of 2009?

My brother took a young boar today so now we focus on finding me a mature boar. We saw a decent blonde bear today but it was too far away. I may post a photo later of my brothers bear depending on how it turned out.

We saw 5 bears today but they were either too small or too far away. Maybe next weekend I can find the big boy I am after.
