Week 21 | 2018
Yes, my training is slacking... but I'm in the thick of bear hunting and trying to salvage any spare time to go out and chase bears. I got some training in, but when it comes to getting to the mountains that takes priority. Training is to serve me in the mountains, end of story. As for bear hunting, I baited all three sights, found a boar in a remote clear cut and put a good stalk on him. I made it to 64 yards of the bear and then he disappeared in the thick willows. I waited for him to...
Week 20 | 2018
Pretty good training week, only got 4 days in but the rest were spent bear hunting in Idaho. I was able to do the old spot and stalk deal on a nice boar. I got my shot at 23 yards downhill right through the bear's chest. He didn't go very far. Glad to have one down, not time for a giant! This is public land and completely DIY. Monday 5/21/2018 1.

My Bear Season
This was a great bear season. I hunted a total of 7 days spread out through May and June 2016. Most of the hunts were spot and stalk, I never sat a tree stand. I saw a total of 11 different bears in person, passed on 2 bears under 30 yards. I did miss one bear at 28 yards, but that was better than wounding a bear. The next bear I finally shot was a dandy, but I ran out of blood after trailing him for 500 yards in the dark until 1am. I made a quartering away shot at...
