It happened so fast I didnt even get a chance to get my heart rate going till after it was down. I was looking at my trail cam pics on my camera in my tree when I looked up to see him at about 30 yards walking in. I got stood up, grabbed my bow. Drew when his head went behind the stump and he walked out broadside at 15 yards. Complete pass through right through his shoulders and he ran 31 yards before piling up. Watched the whole thing from my tree. That entire encounter I bet took at most 45 seconds, from seeing him to him lying there not moving. It was surreal.
My first bear, been baiting them for about 5 different years and have had close calls but no success. Missed a few more with my bow on spot and stalks.
He'll probably go the 130 to 150 range. I couldlnt pick him up to put him on the atv. Just a shy under 5'. About a average boar in Idaho. It was fun!!!

Nice Bear! Congrats! No luck for me this weekend over there on the bears. I'll have to wait til fall.
I bet.... I was over there last weekend, Was it you that I helped tracking two hounds that are lost in Wood for many hours. :chuckle: Lucky dogs are alive! Those two were from State Mt houndman anyway. Glad to help track the dogs to bring them back down.
Nice job, all that hard work paid off!
Any luck with your hunting? Did I passed u other day? :rolleyes:

Nope - wasn't me. No problems with losing any dogs this weekend for us. GPS collars on most of them. They work great.

How far from Lewiston were you hunting? I grew up there and plan on baiting next year. I haven't decided if I want to hunt out of Lewiston or go up north. PM me if you'd like. It would be nice to hear from someone from the valley.
Good job!
