Scouted the area and found no blood. was pretty sad as I saw the bear perfect but didn't want to fail the shot or shoot my partner which he was glad for. Don't know how he missed nor does he as he felt it was a beautiful shot about 100 yds.
What I learned from this though is I should remember land marks from where I am sitting so I know were to scout when I get down there. the tall grass kind of made me wander a lot as I was unsure where the bear was at. and Always make sure your gun is sighted.
Anyone have any advice? Will the bear come back to that area?

First of all, I would not post that you used your buddies gun...that is illegal unless it was transferred over to you correctly. Bears are wanderers. You never know where you are going to see one. The best thing you can do is spend as much time in the field as possible if you really want to shoot a bear. The bear may come back but probably not.
Are you saying its illegal to borrow someones gun to go on a hunting trip? Its not like you are transferring ownership without doing the proper paper work.

(4) This section does not apply to:
(f) The temporary transfer of a firearm
(v) while hunting if the hunting is legal in all places where the person to whom the firearm is transferred possesses the firearm and the person to whom the firearm is transferred has completed all training and holds all licenses or permits required for such hunting, provided that any temporary transfer allowed by this subsection is permitted only if the person to whom the firearm is transferred is not prohibited from possessing firearms under state or federal law.
Congrats, OP, on your first black bear sighting. Conditions? Elevation? Time? Environment?

Loaning/borrowing a gun is considered a transfer, and under I-594 may legally be done in the field for the purposes of hunting.

It was around 1600-1700. Was nice breeze overcast about 65-70. In a clear cut full of berries.
If there are berries there will be bears.

This year there are tons of berries. Right now I'm finding: salmonberry, thimbleberry, trailing blackberry, Himalaya blackberry, evergreen blackberry, red huckleberry, blue huckleberry, salal, Oregon grape, rose hips and cascara. Berry crop is making up for the last couple years and then some.It was around 1600-1700. Was nice breeze overcast about 65-70. In a clear cut full of berries.

I shot and missed a bear one night, and ended up getting the same bear first thing the next morning. Good luck :tup:

Also keep an eye out for buzzards and Ravens. Bears have very thick hair and can run a couple hundred yards if not further before blood hitting the ground. Good luck out there!! :tup::yeah:

Correct it is, but I believe the legal owner has to take it to the field the transfer in the field the way I read it. All I am saying is that I wouldn't post about it. Leave that part out.

Just another example of how stupid I-594 is. Ambiguous and confusing. We said it before it passed, yet still the idiots in this state passed it.

You are correct, the actual transfer must take place in the field. His friend was with him in the field, thus my assumption that they transferred in the field.
