Very cool.

I did call in this monster buck with the foxpro - whitetail fawn in distress:

Thinking the same also.  I'm hunting hard the next four days,  I was really going for a winter coat.  Maybe I'll still luck out,  the last couple times outs Ive found myself in some decent spots.  I'm not waisting points on this tag ever again.  In the future I'm heading elsewhere.

I don’t feel that this is a waste of points but it is a challenging hunt.  I’ll be back out there at first light in the am.

Hi everyone.  Keep at it.  I hooked up with a sow yesterday with this tag.  My first bear!  62" from nose to tail. Lanky, Not a monster, but a beautiful coat long and thick.  I also saw a bobcat, six deer and a grouse!!   Was a good day. The sun came out after the thunder and lightning storm.   Shot her while hiking down a grassy road.   Multiple piles of scat on the road none looked fresh though.  Saw what I thought was blackie feeding around the a bend in the road as i was coming around the corner.   Took a few more bends in the road to catch up before I rounded a bend and 20 ft in front of me feeding with head down and facing away I raised up and shot her.   Keep your heads up they are out there!!!  Got some really helpful advice from the good people on this site.  So to you I'd like to say thanks!!!!

Way to go Logsplitter!

I can’t tell you how many miles of grassy roads I’ve walked looking for that elusive bear.  Hope to get out a few more times before it’s over.

Way to go logsplitter. Surprised from your pm it was near same spot.

Well, I’m not going to make it out for this evening’s hunt so I’m officially skunked for this hunt.  I've lost track of how many times I’ve been out and I’ve seen a grand total of 2 bears, no shots fired.  It’s been fun but it’s been frustrating as well. 

Good luck to those of you still hunting and congratulations to those of you that got your bear on this hunt.

I'm in the same boat as you CP. It was a good hunt, I learned a lot.
