Post by: Opportunist on August 13, 2008, 08:29:35 AM: With the amount of bears being killed by members of this site it might need to be renamed(BEAR-HUNTING-WASHINGTON.com). Good job BEAR KILLERS and keep it up, the more bear killed, the more calf elk that will survive this next spring! :brew: :tup: :mgun:

Last night we saw a real nice boar at 450 yards. The only problem is it was at the bottom of the hole and there was no way to get a shot. We tried walking down the ridge to get closer. It literally took us 15 minutes to make it 100 yards. We were crawling through vines 8 feet tall. When we finally crested the ridge we saw the bear exiting the draw out the bottom. O well He will be back and hopefully further up the ridge.

I've been out every after noon I can. Don't usually get into the woods til around 6 - 6:30pm. Havn't seen anything yet. Had a guy stop me up their yesterday evening about an hour befor dark and say their was a 200+ pound bear in a clear cut up the road. Made it up their and glassed for it but never saw it befor it got dark. Ohh well, I'll keep my eye open for it.

Heading up north Thursday or Friday with ShadowCat and Snowman to see if I can put a tag on my first Bear. Should be a blast.

Post by: tmike on August 13, 2008, 08:31:34 PM: The Guardian came through. Good thing I didn't have to use my 22 because that's all I had crawling in here to see if it was alive. For some reason M-ray didn't volunteer but he had a 38 I believe to back me up. That was pucker factor for a minute. :yike:
