Thanks Cascade wouldn't have missed it for nothing! We had a great hunt and a difficult hunt. Bears just weren't in the areas we have always found them. Our group has had this tag 3 times in 4 years and we have all been successful but Cascade and I definetly earned this bear. Lots of miles on the boots and lots of glassing.
The turkey hunt went much different then the bear hunt. After getting the bear taken care of we decided to try a get a tom. We tried a couple of the areas we always see birds but couldn't get anything talking. Finally found a tom that wanted to play around 6pm. I think I called 4 times to that bird at around 400 yards. Within minutes he almost ran me over! No camo, no facemask, just a WSU sheatshirt and hat! 20 yard shot and it was over. 9 inch beard, 1" spurs, and over 20 lbs!
