Title: Idaho spring bear bowkill
Post by: alwinearcher on July 01, 2010, 12:43:23 PM: Well with only a few days left in season my cousin Nik and myself took a trip back over to Idaho.
We knew we had to pull our barrel anyways so we figure why not squeeze another day or two of hunting in.
When we got there we could tell the bait was being hit hard so we set our blind right up and got settled in.
At about 7:30 this brute walked in..

Not bad for there only being 2 days left in season :)

This hunt was a prime example of a blind squirrel finding a nut, but I don't mind taking the cookies when they are passed. =)
