Bearpaw Season 2024

[bearpaw]

Got another photo of a fox, I’ve still have never actually seen one in NE WA, but this year we have at least one in two different areas. There must be a few of them around now. I’m guessing they will expand fairly quickly?

Saw one (red fox) hit on the road last week on the Palouse Hwy just outside of Valleyford.

Definitely getting to be more of them.@

Been getting photos of some decent whitetail. We severely cut back on whitetail hunters after the last blue tongue outbreak so the bucks could rebuild, our strategy is working.

The cats are all over the place, it’s a wonder there are any deer.im pretty sure this one made a kill nearby, for three days he was by the camera multiple times, now he’s gone, must have finished the kill and hunting for the next kill.

I've got one on camera two nights now walking up my driveway.  Young cat.

We were in the NE hunting this past week and saw two cougars.  One was in the road and jumped off not giving us a shot, the second was 650 yards away sunning himself on a rock.  By time I realized what I was looking at...it got up and stepped into the brush.  We sat looking for a couple house hoping he would present again and he never did.  Every day we had cougar tracks in our tracks and had multiple cats on camera.  Cats are thick in the NE corner.

Another recent cat on cam…

Damn nice WT bucks sir.  Those big cats are feasting.

Wow! I can't wait for this season! See you in November! I sure hope my wife is able to connect and get her first deer.....hell, her first animal of any kind!

Sounds awesome, tell her to have a cougar tag in her pocket too, no extra charge if she gets one. I've only posted photos of the larger bucks, there are numerous medium and smaller bucks too, shooting opportunity is usually close to 100%. With some luck maybe one of the big bucks will show himself?

Yes, Stevens County

[bearpaw]

He had done a Texas high fence hunt once but wanted to do a true wild hunt. Yosef from New York nailed this young buck but unfortunately missed a 6x6 bull. But that’s still a pretty good first wild hunt to experience! Congrats!

Our whole first group of 6 archers were all on only their first or second bowhunt. They all got to see bulls and we had 5 bull elk shooting opportunities, mostly under 30 yards, but unfortunately only one hit and it wasn’t a good hit, the bull quit bleeding and were weren’t able to get it. I’m hoping it wasn’t a mortal wound.

Everyone did have a great time and they all said we will see them again.

About time you shared some trail cam pics.... lol 🤣
Wishing you and your crew ,goodluck on your hunts.
Yes ,that Fox is pretty rare for Stevens county,I've only seen one my entire life here. We would have more Fox if we weren't infested with coyote,my opinion.

Keep those trail cam and harvest pics coming.👍
