I wanted to show you all something I'm thrilled about: June 2nd of this year I finally got my first black bear. I've been wanting to go out on a spring/early summer hunt for about 7 years now, but my college schedule always took up Mays, and my commercial fishing schedule took up Junes and Julys. I've longingly watched just about every spring black bear hunt on youtube. And I finally got to get a few day hunt in! 1st day - no bears. 2nd day- 9 (yes, 9!) big coastal brownies. 3rd day - saw a sow black bear with two cubs, and then later this cinnamon black bear!
It is by no means a record breaker by size, but I am thrilled. And it is some of the most delicious meat I've eaten. Also, a plus, it is a lot more meat than the blacktails I usually hunt for!
