3 Day Bear hunt this week, left town and took my buddy from Wisconsin out for an Idaho bear. We did end up getting him an opportunity but ultimately we didn't get it done. I kept hunting my 7 foot bear and he "daylighted" twice this week, just at odd times when I was sitting the bait. I think he's super old and disciplined, circling the stand from a long ways off even though I only snuck into the stand with thermals already turned on. I don't think I'll get another crack at him either. Maybe next year Arnold! Monday...

2017 Hunting season is almost over for me... I have one last little 1 or 2 day hunt in Idaho for a late season archery elk. I don't know for sure if I can sneak out of work and responsibility, but I'd really like one last chance, my hunting for elk here in WA late season was a bust. I had a bull come into my stand on November 29th and he never showed back up. The elk in my area migrate once the snow hits pretty good which it did, so he probably just headed down the mountain. I...
