Good Lord, five bears in three hours from one set! Incredible day and the pictures and story are fantastic.
Thanks for posting them

Man, where were you when I needed some pointers in the Huckleberry Unit!  Just got back from my daughter's hunt and we saw one decent bear across the canyon, but too far to get to it.  We had fun though.

Ended up seeing one bear, four cow moose, six wobbly-legged little moose calves, and had a cougar screaming at us while we were hiking in the dark the last morning, at right around 100 yards.  I thought it was cool, she thought we should go back to the truck!  Oh yeah, and we picked around 75 ticks off in two half days and one whole day of hunting, must be a terrible tick year, have never had them on me like that before?

Good luck to everybody still hunting, it's coming down to the wire now.

Congrats, great photos and very nice bear.  Sometimes the photos are better then putting one down, you got several real trophies there!

I'll see if I can figure out how to put the video up on youtube. I'll work on it this weekend.
Bearhunter, I was using a Sony HC7. It's a high definition camera, the footage looks incredible on an HDTV. The pictures I posted are still frames from the video.

That .375 is a stone cold killer! That's two bucks (one mine) and a bear down since Nick got that bad boy in October. Sweet bear, can't wait to see the video.

Those screen captures are very clear, especially at those distances.  Great photos thanks for sharing.

Impressive! Looks like you're as good a photographer as a hunter.
