Sow bears and boo boos - let's see them.

That would be totally unfair to Barry Woods.

Edit: I see your handle is woods89, Your first name isn't Barry is it.

No it is not........

 

[brockel]

This is funny.

Reminds me of the wife’s grandpa telling a story about hearing a loud banging and yelling behind the house. He walks around the house to find grandma beating and yelling on the cellar door because a bear got down there and was getting the homemade wine

Rounding up or are we listing the excess in merkins?

......after glassing through the Swaros for half an hour we decided he would go 15 loin clothes, 1and a half merkins. A good representative boar for the area....

i will admit that I misjudged this bear. On a side note the pack out was very manageable

 

[golfer]

In September of 2015 I was hunting a buddies small property for elk but the trail cameras were showing more bear than elk so I picked up a bear tag. I had never hunted bear before. She almost climbed the ladder and then went out to about 20 yards and stared at me broadside. From that distance she looked huge!View attachment 223572View attachment 223573

Would you say it was the HECS that made the hunt a success?

Bear season ,tag bear in range = notched /filled tag im not choosey or a trophy hunter

 

[Bambistew]

Is he a pirate?

Goonies. It was an easy pack out, that's for sure.

No clue, haven’t warn that stuff in a few years. My theory was it couldn’t hurt. The move I have learned the more I realize it isn’t what you wear that matters. It’s how you move and how you play the wind.

I was just mentioning today how I have not seen the usual string of dead yearling chocolate labradors this year. Spoke too soon

I don't think you're following the right IG accounts...I've been seeing a steady crop of marmots all season.

First bear I was jacked but when your pushed out forearm is bigger than the hind legs.....

that's a dink.

Happy to have her though

 

[EYJONAS!]

Yeah that one happened too.....

Buddy told me saw a GIANT go in this dried wash deal. He goes he's right in there. ( I had been watching a really good one for 2 days in the area) I walk to where the bear went in jumped her at 10 yards and leveled her. My first words were instantly "fk me you dumbass Jonas" I was #crushed I killed a prime sow.

She dressed at 297 and aged at 10 or 11. Had an opportunity at a big boar earlier that day that was a row inside the corn field. Couldn’t get comfortable with the shot so I passed. The farmer called me later in the sit to tell me my time was limited so I opted to shoot what I thought would be a 350 ish pound boar. Turns out sows are short, which is why she was 50+ pounds lighter than I thought she’d be.

I was bent because I’d waited ten years to tag a sow and would need to wait 15+ years for another tag. I was so disgusted that I started buying points in the West, and then got a phd in point creep. But, without that “failure” I wouldn’t have been to WY each of the last four years hunting antelope. Now that that opportunity is drying up I’ll have to get bent about that and see what other adventures I can discover while I continue to wait for that next bear tag.

#Oprah

Nice way to drape it over a rock to really accentuate the massiveness.

Yeah I was trying to go with the Samsung S7 humpback/longarm/pinhead effect with a vignette color scheme to really accent the peanut factor.

Got pretty close to.

I’m just glad my true dinkiest dink came in a day before digital cameras.

Buddy and I were out for spring bear in high school, which was just a good excuse to drink cheap beer. Anyways, found a black spot in a clear cut, looked at it through the cheapest binos I could find and low and behold it’s a bear. Dropped it in one shot, high fives and “eff ya” all over the place. You’d have thought we just shot a B&C moose. We work our way up there, and pretty sure after gutting we could have just picked it up by the scruff of the neck and packed it back to the road. I felt so bad I didn’t truly put in any effort on bears for 20 years. They became a target of opportunity, not a target of focus.
