Made it to a cam that’s been out since September elk. Cam was still taking pics and I stumbled upon a elk shed just before reaching cam.Boo-Boo is saying "anybody in there". :tung:

That Elk shed is pretty exciting.

I’m starting to wonder if this is the same bear I got on cam a few years ago about 4 mi away as a crow flies. These pics are in September and I can only imagine the shape that bear is in for May that it could easily look like this in September.
Thats a tanque, panzer - tank of a bear.

Both jet black /no markings.
Buck is pretty decent too.
Great pics as always 👍.

I'd say it's a pretty high possibility same bear.

Buck is pretty decent too.
Great pics as always 👍.
They are actually color of brown as black in IR will be jet black .

Nice buck. Is your big bull hunt-able OTC or do ya need a draw tag?
Those bulls are in a general area. Unfortunately I won’t be able to hunt them this year as I drew a controlled muzzy hunt

Also I’ve yet to see a mule deer in person near that cam with all the scouting and hunting I’ve done there. Next cam check I’m expecting the mule deer pics to really drop off . Rarely get mule deer pics there come September

While scouting for deer in Idaho . I glassed up one of the biggest bears I may of ever seen or very close. I’ve seen a lot of bears hundreds maybe 1,000. This thing was enormous, it made a big muley buck look little.Yep, that’s a big bear.

I’d probably still be there if I had shot it. 8.5 miles one way and 2,300’ in elevation. :chuckle:seen a bear that size on the high hunt one year. My buddy said he wanted to shoot it. I told him I was here for deer and if he shot that bear he was on his own. :chuckle: Needless to say he didn’t shoot the bear. They get that big for a reason :chuckle:

Made it to Idaho for a quick trip as I only got 3 days to hunt there as we are headed to WY for elk. Night of the 2nd day I ended up making a 45 min run to a ridge to be in position to shoot before dark. Got there with a hour of light left and buck was still in same spot. There was a small 4pt and a doe also with him as they seem to be rutting as they would not leave doe alone. At 481 yards I squeezed off a shot and couldn’t find him immediately but did see the doe and 4pt looking at something behind a tree. I thought he was down, but he was and could see him moving. After a minute or 2 he walks out the other side and looked like he wasn’t hit. I shoot again and this time a face full of dirt from brake and lost sight and look around and spot him 100 yards down an extremely steep hill qtr at me and looking around . I’m wondering if my gun is messed up . I shoot again and hear an extremely loud “ crack” . Deer is gone but I see a pine tree shaking for 30 seconds and stop. I figured he rolled into it. Well after a big hike to just get to him it’s pitch black and I find him in a ravine that was unbelievable steep and thick. I realize what that “ crack “ was! Hit his beam and blew off a 8” extra tine that was on outside of his right beam. After a hour of trying to get buck out of hole so I could break him down with paracord everywhere :chuckle: I realize the first 2 shots were perfect . The goats and I made it back to our spike camp at 11:50 pm

Awesome deer!! Sometimes those big mulies can take bullets and keep trucking, they are tuff animals. What caliber / bullet combo were you using?
300 prc 215 Bergers . Bullet that hit beam exited on bottom side and still hit buck . There was punctures all down back and shoulder. Plus the large majority of bullet hit the front side of hindquarter
