I have taken a few bears already and have seen as many as 14-15 in some years. Just can't get excited any more about bear hunting. They are fun and challenging to hunt but a pain in the butt to get out of the woods. Not to mention you have to wait around camp for a Warden to inspect and tag.

The mule deer where I hunt are usually lower (below 7500 Ft) than where I hunt Elk but do have them around camp most years. Probably will put in for one since hunting is hunting and you never know when you may have a nice one cross your path. After all it's only another $389 for us non residents. Tom
