I went out last weekend on my first hunt ever and shot a small black bear. We were hunting north of Winthrop at about 2000 ft and I called her in with a fawn distress call. She was only about 200lbs, but the experience was great and now I'm completely hooked. I wanted to post this on this board to say Thank You to all of the members for their help and info. The information from "billythekidrock" on bear calling was invaluable. I grew up in a non-hunting family in Los Angeles, I've never had any exposure to hunters or hunting. I got the bug to take up hunting earlier this year, and I've relied heavily on forums like this for guidance on everyting from gear to tactics.

THANKS!

Congrats on a beautiful bear. I love to hear about non-hunters becoming hunters on their own.

Please don't take this as an insult, as you noted she is a small bear - she is a lot closer to 100lbs than 200lbs.

Probably felt that way....however, not a 200lber. Nice looking bear. I'll take one like that for my first.

CONGRATS on a great first bear! I am still trying to tag my first. Maybe this will be the lucky year......
(I seem to run into them all the time...until I have a valid tag in my pocket...LOL)
