This is one of the first years I have ever planned my hunting a year before. I am excited and there is a lot to be thankful for. No matter what you got going on. Life rolls on.
I’d like to say that last year was my first year harvesting a black bear. It was difficult as I had been trying for awhile. I had been to late for berries at the hunting locations I had tried in the previous years.
With that being said my first bear came in alpine berry patch. I just picked a spot on a map near my home and researched the correct time for berries. There were four bears where I went to my surprise.
To all the new bear hunters on here. We have a ton of resources here on this website as well as hunters that will personally take you to spots for bear.
The best tool for harvesting a bear is research on the inter web , but nothing will compare and be most successful than getting out there.
I am stoked for bear season. Maybe a spring bear permit...fingers crossed or just being able and healthy enough to get out there and do the damn thing.
I am really excited to get out into the woods. (http://[img][img])[/img][/img]

Way to get after it.

Sweet what direction was that slope facing?

Good deal, I might have to pick up a bear tag this year.

My annual bear trip may be some of my favorite hunting days. Not super hard work, lot of glassing and a lot of critters to look at! Hoping to draw or tag along on a spring tag to scratch the itch.

Well I had to change powders in my load for the 7mm.
So I have another range trip ,maybe two , I don't know.
But I'm always ready and I have a backup rifle that I know is sighted in.
I'm always ready ,it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they did spring draw now.
I need to put in for days off,go through my day bag from fall seasons.

Doing some sight in practice today.
It should make the let down of not drawing a spring permit feel even better.
