Free: Contests & Raffles.
Just to set the stage, my daughter took hunter ed when she was seven and immediately got her first deer that season. She turned 13 this year and has harvested several deer, a cow moose and threee antelope since her first season. She drew a Huckleberry spring bear tag three years ago, but we couldn't connect on a bear. This year she drew another spring bear tag in the Tucannon. We waited til the last weekend hoping the late spring would finally arrive, providing us a better opportunity at getting her on a bear.We woke the first moring to 28 degrees and almost four inches of snow, not the weather we were hoping for. Sure, the snow makes bears easier to spot, but they weren't moving at all, so that made it harder. We hunted hard that first day, but nothing to show for it except cold, wet and muddy. Day two started out much the same, cold weather, rain showers and no sightings. We finally saw our first bear that afternoon, but way too far away and no real option for a stalk.I'll make several postings so can add lots of photos...
My daughter runs back to get the gun while I keep an eye on it.
