A buddy of mine shot one last year that had a tag and he had to trash all of the meat. Hope that's not the case d-rock...

Nice Bear congrats!  Still got another month before I'll start hunting.

I was up in the same area, didn't know until this morning that the person who I crossed paths with that had all the luck last night would actually be on this forum.

My night was initially full of disappointment.  I walked up to find someone had stolen one of my cams... :-(  If you're on here, its a Primos Truth Cam 35 and I'd love it back... just put it back on the same tree please!

I didn't know until I got home, but the bear D-Rock got and D-Rock himself were on my other cam that wasn't stolen yet (thanks D-Rock for leaving it alone), so I thought I'd post a couple of the pics per request.

That close up really gives you an idea of how ugly D-Rock is when you get up close.

Thats pretty cool that you have him on cam as well as the bear. I've had a chance to hang out, hike, and do some shooting with this D-Rock fella. Stand up guy and the last person that would nab your cam. Cool pics.

What's up with the purple?

I dont know what is with the discoloration.  That cam always looks like that.  I'd love to report back and say if my other cam (also a Truth Cam 35) performed the same way, but someone else owns it now  >:(

The older Guy I talked to yesterday on my way back in with my cart said he saw 2 collared bears last week while scouting.   This was before I even told him mine had a collar.

Did you use your new RMEF gun to harvest this bear?

LOL!  I can relate.  I have one old wingmaster that I can't fully retire.  It's a good gun...
