Got here on Friday, cold as heck and trying to snow! Yesterday felt like it was 20 degrees, the bears were not moving in our area, I did see a mom abusing her older looking cub. She even smacked it on a steep hill and it went tumbling, interesting to watch. Maybe she’s in heat and wants the cub out of the area? Anyway today it’s beautiful and much warmer, hopefully the bears notice and come out to play more. Only prob is, I left one tote at home 400 miles away, it had our dry food, salsa and chips, condiments (dry hamburgers are not that good !), and the most important thing in the tote, my WHISKEY!!!!! Sooooo, now I have to drive into asotin and get stuff, damn!!! I’d be ok eating dry hamburgers but I’m not going w/out the whiskey! Anyway, couple pics of camp and some mushroom gold was found! Hopefully dead bear pics by Friday!!Headed over Tuesday if you need me to grab it.
Take care and good luck

The turkeys are few, only heard one gobbler in the early part of the season. My draw partner went back and shot a bear, put it down and it got up and ran off. 5 hours later he had to give up looking when he needed climbing gear. I decided to head back next Wednesday after work, going in deep this time. I have a feeling the hides will start going to crap now so at least if I kill one farther in I most likely won’t be packing the hide out; head and meat!
Depending on where you are in the state, they hides are still very nice. The NE corner has been colder than usual and all the bear I have seen as of last week still look very nice. I feel like the colder temps and rain in the NE are unusual for this time of year. The grass in my area is literally 3 feet tall and growing...

Headed north for my last weekend of hunting in a few hours. Can’t wait.

Good luck to you. I will be coming over tomorrow. I have passed on 4-5 bears so far....not sure that will be the case as the month progresses. :tup: :tup:

So I text a couple people, pack up, get my bearings on where I saw him last and head down. Kinda lost where it was last till I saw the blood trail, looked like an OJ Simpson murder scene, easy find! Had to tie him off (turns out it was a boar) to a tree to keep from rolling down the hill. This is the point where you realize how bad it sucks to go solo! I’ve been in some tough spots, but skinning this bear and de-boning was a complete pain. As I’m typing sitting here at the meat, finishing my coffee, the coyotes or wolves just started howling! Talk later, I need to get out of here.

Beau Olson is on the ridge away from us and seeing bears, this heat made us drink more than half our water, hiking out after a morning hunt and hiking a different ridge. Plus we can fill up w water at the truck. No bears seen today so far.
Get one of these for your pack. Well worth the money, especially hunting in the heat. https://www.campsaver.com/msr-guardian-water-purifier.html?_iv_code=Z65-WTF-MSR0557-252265&gclid=Cj0KCQjwudb3BRC9ARIsAEa-vUsxacGR1BUazsfmOyAlJwVAety93DG7BCB0gNTyIaSW2E_ZVIvLOQQaAjwXEALw_wcB
