Post by: Machias on March 28, 2018, 12:44:59 PM: and about. A midsized bear was treed a couple of days ago in unit 3 of the Idaho Panhandle. Not sure if the guy was chasing lions and treed incidentally or what.

Pretty sure from the blood on the tailgate coming from the mouth it was shot or maybe roadkill? He said it was still fresh and the game warden was giving it to tulalip tribe. I will see if I can figure out how to post the picture.

I did see the video, looked like a color phased bear with several walkers at the bottom of the tree. Bear got nervous and bailed and the dogs gave chase in patchy snow.

Post by: colersu22 on March 29, 2018, 04:22:16 PM: We had a bear come in last week and tear apart our 4 deer targets, same thing happened last year in the summer but he left the bear target alone both times. I hope with them out and moving I can find one in the huckleberry unit next weekend.
