2012 Plans for bear

[Machias]

I know it's a bit early and the bears are all tucked away in their dens right now, but does anyone have any plans for 2012 yet?  I have already bought my 2012 Idaho Hunting License and I will be chasing bears and baiting bears over there again this year.  Really hoping for a much better year than I had this year....couldn't get any worse.  I had one bear hit my bait site and that was the last weekend of the spring season.  Didn't get to bait any of the areas I wanted to and with the late snow it was a slooow spring.  But then I managed to only find three bear rigs for the dogs this year and all three of those were in some heavy wolf areas, so I never made a single tree this year with the dogs.  It was also my first year back into the dogs and between slowly getting new gear and new dogs back, we were...I was not as prepared as I should have been.  This year will be different and hopefully better.  I have dogs, equipment, new snowmobile, new 4 wheeler and a new saddle mule.  So hopefully after spending the winter chasing lions and bobcats with the dogs in ID, I can get after the bears next year as well.  So what are your plans for 2012?

Hope to get another skagit tag I had a great hunt and got help from a good friend on here. I don't think I will ever beat the bear I killed last year, but it's always fun to try I need to call this year! Last year I did not find any time for it. I need to this year.

Machias, if you ever want someone to go along with you, I have snowmobiles and ATV's and willing to travel.  Let me know, I'd love to go chase some kittys or bears.

Rasbo, send me a copy of you avatar pic, that is awsome.

Puttin in for spring bear....depending on how that goes...

I will hit 'bearadise' with either my bow, rifle or camera.

When Aug comes, will go out a few times early in season....hit it harder at sept gets older....
near the end of season, I will call up in the snow like i did this year....see what happens...

God willing....and bears willing...

Good luck in Idaho, I was debating about doing an Idaho hunt for em....looks fun...

I think I'm going to try and do a spring bear hunt in Oregon if I don't draw here in Washington. Currently don't have major plans for the August season, I probably will look for bears in the cascades while scouting for deer I suppose.

I just thought about it and come up with the idea of h20hunter and I putting in for the Monroe tag together and both shooting bears.  Then hunting my normal spots come August.   What do you say H20hunter sound like a plan?

[h20hunter]

Dude...I'm in. Monroe tag it is. Guranteed. By the way...almost picked up some bacon gum while at D&D.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Think I better put in for some spring tags this year ....never done it 

[D-Rock425]

I was looking at one of my other favorite websites and found some of those Bacon favor edible thongs I think those and the gum and we got it made.
