I havn't been out Bear hunting yet this year.  In 08' I passed on 2 Bear because I didn't feel good about the *censored*.  Both were in the 180 - 200 range.

I didn't know that their "sh*t" determined if they were a shooter or not?  :dunno: Sorry, couldn't pass on a golden opportunity to pitch you some Michelle!

speaking of that mistake, did any of you guys and gals see the newspaper article where a boy sh*t  a 8 point buck?  The email was titled lucky  to be alive.  :chuckle:

:yeah:
We have no shortage of bears here in Washington.  I think its up around 40,000 bears.  Little ones will taste just fine and are easier to get out of the woods in the warm days.

Usually pass quite a few!  Love being out and will only take one if the conditions are perfect. Have seen up to 20+ in a season but im not really into bears but with nothing better to do i guess if i cross paths with the right one its dead!!!  Im holding out for a color phase this year, just gotta get out and find him now!

So far this year I've only passed on one bear, a pretty good bear but I'm holding out for a huge bear.
I've got a big rug hanging on my wall from a Alaska hunt I did a few years ago and wont kill another bear unless it's bigger.
I just like to bear hunt but to be honest, I don't care if I never kill another one. I don't like the taste of bear and I don't need another Taxidermist bill.
I skin and quarter at the kill sit. If I have a long pack then I'll bone out the bear.

two years ago i passed on 2, one was a huge sow but had a cub the other was passed becuase it was on the other side of a river and we would not have been able to pack it out that night.

last year didnt get a chance to hunt due to work.  have passed on 2 this year so far but both were shot by my hunting partners so i guess i didnt really pass but merely passed them over to another  hunter.  bear number 3 will be dead to rights provided its cubless and we can get it out that same day
