CONGRATS on a great bruin! The Wenaha is some rough country and you earn your trophies there...as if you don't already know that...LOL.

The SE side is mostly clear of snow.  The main big ridge has a lot on it, but no need to get up in that stuff - the mid elevations is where the onions are at and that is what they are feeding on.  We did see one that was as big or bigger last night - all black.  Hopefully the weather will change and get better so the onions grow and a guy can hunt without fear of getting struck by lightening.

AWESOME bear!
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
