Post by: jackmaster on July 31, 2013, 12:10:49 PM: well i know it has been a few more than 5 thats for sure, the problem with killin bears is there is only so much you can do with bear hides and it gets real expensive, so i havent hunted bear in years, i really do miss baiting though, especially watch cubs keep mama bear on her toes, it was always a hell of a show :chuckle:

People give me a hard time about that. How about you? But in our younger days who realized it was that out of the ordinary :dunno:

I know exactly how many I've missed! :bash: One in Idaho with the bow while elk hunting and four in Washington with the a rifle. One that kills me was an almost white blonde at 150 yards. Haunts my dreams still to this day. I know two other people that missed that same bear. Maybe it was a ghost!

Pretty sure my first one was a bow kill in '81 because my oldest brother wasn't around to help out as he had just started college. If I were to guess I'd say between 18 and 20 with the bow. Probably just shy of double that with a gun. I do know for certain only two with a pistol - one with the TC Contender and another with a 45. Finished off a couple more for clients with the 45. Also know my client total when guiding was 21 bear for 23 hunters. Wife's total I think is six with one monster about 450#.

Always wanted to go to Maine and try pit hunting with a spear, but I never made it for that season. One of my bigger regrets as I had a couple invites in the late 80's. Can't for the life of me remember what excuse I had for not going >:(

Never hunted bear using hounds. I might have to do that one of these days. I think it would be nice to have at least experienced it once.

:chuckle: Well, you can feel good that you are not the first and for sure won't be the last to choke when a bear appears. And it could be worse! You could be that client of mine that went chasing after the elk with only a single bullet in his hand leaving the gun to shoot it out of in the truck ;)
