Good luck to you on a great bear and a good hunt.
Thanks man. Did you draw a spring tag? If you did good luck to you. First time in the Wenaha/Blues. I'll be staying in Lewiston tonight if anyone is around.

Good luck Anthony, how long you staying?
Thanks! I think 4 days. We'll see how everything is with the snow
Using it as a mini vacation/scouting/hunting trip. Great place to eat right across the street with cold beers. Can't beat that!

still haven't mastered the trick of getting these bears to stand on the bathroom scale that every other guy on the internet seems to know. maybe one day. im just surprised this one was under 300, never seen one smaller than that online...
I shot a bear last spring and a buck that scored 187 and was just over 30"s wide last fall and decided not to put a picture on here because of this.
I'm impressed that you guys are able to field judge a bear by a post on an internet forum that doesn't even have a photo attached
JM I get the annoying trolls on here but who really cares what they have to say post your pics for 99% of us who are going to drool over a 187" buck!
Post by: Duckslayer89 on April 19, 2017, 10:54:17 AM
That had to be 23-28 miles if it took 5 hrs both ways :chuckle:
Well I was slowly hunting my way along the trail it might have been less but my body definitely felt like it was put through the ringer

sorry my comment wasn't directed at you. You only said a 250 pound bear which make me believe you probably did pass on a nice bear. I just think its funny every time someone misses or just sees a bear in Idaho its always "at least a 300 pounder" Hope you get a huge one and post it up here. I will try to not derail the thread again! haha

We found where one bear had been out of the den, feeding in a very small isolated area. That was the one bit of sign we found but it was in such a tough spot we couldn't wait on that point till dark without freezing thanks to the wind.
Hopefully we connect in a month when we get back up there.

My 10 year old son and I did 3 days this past weekend and had a great time. The roads are horrific in the Huckleberry unit, we wound up doing a lot of hiking and had a tough time making good use of our time because the few points and peaks with any fresh growth were very isolated. The trip was amazing though, getting that much time with just my young son and I was priceless. We camped in various spots in a 2 man tent, had lots of ice on the tent, froze at night, got blown off the mountain with hail and snow, and didn't see any bears. And... he didn't complain once the entire trip. Oh yea, we cooked "mountain man nachos" in the cast iron skillet over the fire. We burned the heck out of the chips and cheese but he didn't care. He also pulled a #dudeperfect on the new world record ground squirrel haha. Also, he wanted to get burgers at an "old fashioned" place on our way home. No problem!

AWESOME pics fly. Very cool taking the boy out. Looks like a blast glad you guys had fun. I think I'll be hunting spring bear every year. Going to Idaho next year if I don't draw blues with 1 point.

No I didn't even get to put in. I started a new job as a juvenile corrections officer and I will have week of vacation right around fall bear opener, so I will use 4 days for bear(plus my 2 off) and the other 3(plus my two off) for deer season.

This is our hunter we bought out with the raffle proceeds on a bear hunt he took this one at 400yrds with a 300 win mag. Took them about 3hrs to retrieve it from the steep and nasty hole.

Beautiful bear, Jason!Thank you.
I skinned him out for a rug, but have since changed my mind and I'm going to have a half mount done.
