@beaverhunter, @greenhorn, @Frequently Banned Troll Congratulations!!

Did you have to battle GB v BB thoughts as you watched him??

Im quite certain that Ron and Barry/(Wardy) were there with you in spirit as you squeezed the trigger.

Highly likely the hopzones and uneven ground and using a yardstick were impacting my numbers but I was really trying to be conservative. I 100% tagged my biggest bear tonight. Will never get a MT bear like this again- that I’m sure of.View attachment 369110

That thing is an absolute tank! Congrats!

Well let’s hear the story

I’ve been debating whether to start hunting bears now or wait until May.

Debate is over after seeing GH’s bear.

The snow is off Squaw Butte. Time to plant the garden and go bear hunting in your unit.

My Son in Law is really focused on bears this year. He is now a Montana resident as the kids have come home. I haven't had much interest in bear hunting, but his enthusiasm has me more interested. mtmuley
