Is it to early to think about next year?

[Gutpile]

It's all I can think about. It took me 5+ years to bag my first bear and have tagged out the last three years in a row. I'm a freaking addict now. Will be hunting in Idaho for a spring bear and hopefully will draw a WA spring tag but who knows. I can't wait!!!!!

Is it too early to start obsessing over next years bear hunt?

Never to early to start planning.

I pulled out all my trail cameras yesterday and finished euromounting my bucks from this year. All I can think about is next year!! And thats good I guess but I gotta start focusing on ducks geese and coyotes now.

Gutpile,

There is usually not a night that passes that I dont think about hunting just before closing my eyes.  I am ready for Aug 1st for sure.

I cant wait either. Bear hunting is so addicting!! I love the long season, Hey gut, what units are you hunting in Idaho?? I went this year in the beginning of June and we did the reduced tag units. Only 35$ for out of state tag, you can bait and you can buy two!! Didnt connect, but saw a couple. Would love to do it again though..

Never to early. I was dreaming of the big color phase that got away last night before I fell asleep. I'll get him next year!

Well, I did not fill my bear tag this year and I can't wait till next year to redeem myself

Always plan ahead. Scout,scout. Plan and plan again!The rewards will speak for themselves!

My 2011 season has already begun...I hit it hard post season, learning new areas, seeking new places to hunt, and learning from the areas I hunted.  Jan-June is key.
