My brother and I did not kill a bear this year..We saw 42 for the season,but nothing that got us all that excited..We did help the neighbor kid and a friend get theirs which was cool..
In 7 weeks the fall season will open and we can start in again..
Some highlights from this year..We came close to shooting one,but in the end decided it was a tad to small and maybe a tad to far...Should of shot the called in bear just because...LOL
I've shot probably 10 black bears over the years, but really don't enjoy eating them (thank you Idaho and Wyoming for realizing they taste like $hit, especially those eating winter kill, spawning salmon and gut piles) and having a rug as well as a smaller bear full body mount is enough. I may get a wild hair up my ass and hunt them again in the next few years though...just to get out in the spring.
That said, I am planning to do an interior Griz hunt in the next few years.
Man alive, there have been some beautiful bears shot this spring, judging by these photos! Well done, amigos!
Sadly, my spring bear hunt this year had to be cancelled due to some very nasty real life (work) issues that required me staying close to home. On the bright side, things have been resolved (in my favor, which is damn nice!) and I was able to postpone my hunt to next spring, so I don't have to give up my deposit.
