Big Game Hunting > Bear Hunting
Saw first bear!!!
boneaddict:
I had almost written a response congratulating you on your first bear sighting, then letting you know that it was probably more like 150, that a 300-350 pound bear in Washington is almost a once in a lifetime thing. I then erased it not wanting to be smug. Next time, take the camera so we can believe you. 8) Thats awesome you got to see one, they are amazing creatures. I've seen probably well over a thousand, and they are still exciting to see.

No,I wasn't there!! I took the 3D deer target out to the woods to get some real life hunting practice in.
Billy, I have not made up my mind yet but I was thinking down around Mt.Adams to start. I deer hunt in the Sherman so maybe I will check out huckleberry. Any suggestions??
boneaddict, I'am a joker and can take a joke so feel free. My hunting crew are always making fun of each other. One of are crew members brought back to camp a grouse the size of a sparrow(no joke) and now he's owns the nickname "trisket grouse" because the whole bird fit on a trisket cracker!!
I took my first deer to the butcher fully field dressed and he ask how many lbs do you think this deer is?? I said right around 90lbs and he put it on the scale it was 88lbs. I know to take away 100lbs off of your first thought..I call it taking off the "hunting goggles" :chuckle:
Ray:
I have not seen any bear or bear sign this year. Great to hear they are out all over the place. I'll be out this weekend having a look where I would like to get one this season.

I am not familiar with the east side bears, but I do know that the sherman unit has some good ones.
PolarBear:
101 unit has some real brutes! If you take a drive through the rez after the berries have come on, Hwy 21 will be covered with bear crap from 10 mile to Keller.
