Title: Anyone getting antsy?
Post by: SilkOnTheDrySide on February 01, 2018, 10:48:35 AM
I know I am!

Bring on the bears!

Here’s my August bear from last year. Ungodly type 2 fun with a 17 mile packout to boot.

To say I'm antsy would be an understatement. Hardly any snow in the mountains down here in SW Idaho, 64 degrees out today. I should be bear hunting but it's still 70 days til bear season

Big time antsy! We are already talking as through we've drawn tags, pouring over maps and making plans.

Lapua is dialed in, know the spot, know the range, just need the tag......
Title: Re: Anyone getting antsy?
Post by: dmoua on February 19, 2018, 02:05:24 PM
1st choice or bust for me this year. Even if I do get a tag I probably won't be going out until the end of May to the last few weeks of season in June with all this snow.
Title: Re: Anyone getting antsy?

Probably just another point for me.  Waiting for them to come to their senses and open up some new areas.

It’s going to be a great season over here this year, last year sucked. Good reminder this week that it’s not spring yet though. About ten degrees out there this morning
Title: Re: Anyone getting antsy?

Going into the spring draw with 0 points, so I'm not exactly loading the truck yet.

Have enough points I should draw this year. Feeling lucky!

Hoping to draw with 3 points this year.

I have 3 pt don't want to draw because I'm in the dog house, but you only live once  :sry:

This is already how our Wenaha is shaping up with all our “I’m 100% in! I’ve got the points to draw, I just haven’t ever done a backpack hunt, if you can help, I’ll put in there.”

Basically people wanting us to take them into the Wenaha because we have an epically great time, and are getting pretty decent at killing bears in there.

Make lots of promises, we gave dates last summer, then 2 days before draw ends, they back out.

It’s pretty standard fair to be honest.

I’m less then surprised.

Ya it is. I drew last year with 4 but it’s getting harder to draw it seems. Definitely no garantees

How soon into March you all think the draw will be ,any guesses to the date.

Usually the second to third week. The last time I got selected I received my permit in the mail the week before the season opened.

Post by: bowhunterforever on February 26, 2018, 08:10:54 PM
March 16th  :dunno:
