Title: Bear hunting in Idaho
Post by: Machias on April 30, 2010, 08:18:51 PM: Drove over to Wallace, ID for some bear hunting. Left around 4:30 and got there around 0630. Pouring rain and only about 34 degrees. Got nearly up to Moon Pass and it was snowing hard as heck. They got nearly 18 inches of new snow last night at the pass. Saw about 30 elk in five different herds and probably 20 deer. No bears. Awesome country!!
