All that bear grease, little jealous over here. Big staple in my kitchen.

I bet those gloves are ruined

 

[Sask hunter]

I might need to go get an in person look at this one

 

[kansasdad]

Unless there is lots of snow, or you are using a short barrel, he’s a for real shooter.

 

[Sask hunter]

I think Monday night I’ll try to get a look as the wind will be right

If that second pic were on the MT bear exam 75% of people would misidentify as Griz (including me)

Same guys who shoot sows I bet!

I wish states with quota systems would enact a "shoot a sow, you're out next year" type deal. It sucks when the quota is filled before you even get to June when It is starting to get good.

Those early boars on the bait seem much more killable then the ones that stroll in end of May and June, hit the bait once, and wala, gone.

Good luck!

You’d be surprised how many hunters can’t decipher sow from boars.

Ha no I wouldn't, I see quota units shut down year after year EARLY! Idiots. All those little "youtube bears", you know the ones, "color phase" bear up on a stack of rocks, or log, head looks like a 9 month old lab puppy, camera 2 inches away or the "youtuber" 10 feet behind the bear.

Note to the "shooters", all blonde or orange looking bears are most likely dinks. Look them over!

nice colour on this guy

Now you just gotta try and draw that coveted CO spring bear tag!

@trb did she look up and give the big “no spring hunting” finger?

She did indeed, but there were consolation prizes in the area.

Not in my book. For the price of SG gloves I'd just say they are now "waterproofed"!

 

[Addicting]

I need to start buying Wisconsin points I've got a connection up there with hounds.

If they travel to MI’s UP we can do one pretty easily. I’ve got a pile of points and the western end doesn’t take much.

And a lot of other gear will probably get a layer of it also
