New Guy!
« on: May 04, 2008, 05:44:52 PM »
Hey, my name is Matt and I'm from Castle Rock.  I am a new guy here so wanted to let ya know who I am.  I like to hunt for everything there is especially mule deer and elk.  I typically hunt muzzleloader elk on the westside then hunt rifle deer at my friends place in Winthrop, then finish out with blacktails back at home.  The last few years I have been into hunting the wilderness in Idaho.  I really like that kind of country, so rugged you have all the hunting to yourself and just a few others.  No roads!!  I am hoping to learn more from you guys and share my experiences with you.  I attached a couple pics from last year.  My bear from Winthrop and my buck from Idaho.  I am not sure if I can post animals from other states so let me know and I won't!!  Thanks,  Matt

The bear was actually a old sow!  Teeth worn to the gums but still managed literally 6 inches of back fat.  Tipped the scales at 315 and was not much taller than 5 feet.  I had a half body coming out of the wall made that should be back any day.  The skull measured just over 17.  Lots of bears in that country.  That was the 5th one I saw there.  Missed an opportunity on a much larger boar.

Welcome to the site, nice animals.  Bone does that bear picture background look familiar?  It does to me but I could be all wet.
