 i did go out saturday and took ashot at a rather large one just no scope and over fifty yards away.. missed by about an inch. hit the dirt behind him and close enough to watch the hair on his chest part as it flew under him.. next time im bringin a rifle and not just the shotgun.. and i wouldnt pass up hunting anything for humpy fishing.. i kick those things out of my way when im on the river lookin for silvers or steelhead.. but thats hunting and im fairly satisfied considering it was my second bear hunt ever.. i always see sows and cubs on my scouting.. it was my first bore and i had to try.. next time yogi.. next time..

We have seen 10 bear, on 7 of them there was no shooting opportunity but we should have killed 3 of those bear, for various reasons not a shot has been fired yet, I guess that's why they call it hunting and not getting.

I tend to not hunt bear in August.   I hate fighting heat and bees.   Course it was only 97 here yesterday so.........   

Agree'd.. I tend not to hunt them until the end of August and preferably later if I'm going after them specifically.  Yesterday I went up to scout a place I hadn't been to in a few years, Young flies.. Bunch'a skeeder's! 85+ degrees. Found all the sign a bear hunter would want to. I called a little here and there. Couldn't put a bruin to eyeballs.

As every day passes I'm regreting not taking the big one I had a good chance for last year. A real trophy. I'm not really itching to get one this year. After that big one.. I'll be quite selective.  My boys are interested in harvesting though.
