I finally have a chance to post up a few pictures from this spring. I did not get out nearly as much as I would have liked during the prime bear hunting in May I had to quit my job and find a new one and I just didn't have it in me to go out. On the positive side my new job is going well and they are happy with me.
I was only able to get out once for grizzly my wife and I camped out the week end of May 19-20th it was fun to be out with her and spend some good time together.
Roasting weiners at the Lakelse River
The perfect coho pool they will be laying all around that log in late September-early October
The mighty 375 Ruger standing guard
Hunting the powerlines
I was able to take out the son of a friend of mine for black bear a couple of times, we went for the day on May 27 but did not get a bear, there is a lot of powerline building activity here right now and it messed up our hunting, however in 3 or 4 years the hunting will be fantasic in these new areas
Fast forward to June 9-10th. Matt and his dad and myself went out again for black bear in a different area and camped out, it was a great time to be out there, I really enjoyed it. We were able to get Matt onto a smaller bear with a really good hide but he was shaking so bad with buck fever he couldn't shoot We followed the bear around for a while before it finally had enough of us, an experienced hunter could have shot that bear many times but this was Matt's first time hunting. He felt bad about it not working out but I told him we all have to learn and I was pleased that he held off shooting when he couldn't make a good shot. We have the summer to practice and in the first 2 weeks of September we can head up to the high blueberry patches and find lots of bears there.
Good bear and goat country
Bear dropping at our campsite
Breakfast at 4:30 am June 10, it was cold that night our stuff was covered with ice
More scenery pictures
Checking out the fossil beds on the way out, this was a clam bed at one time
The end for this spring.
