That little one I might wrestle but couldn’t bring myself to shoot it
I have killed a lot of big bears it takes a lot to get me excited so they are pretty safe. That said I have never shot a big color phase so there is still that odd one out there that I would gladly put a hole in.
My daughter actually prefers bear meat over deer and is pretty mad dad doesn’t kill a bear every year like I did in Northern B.C.
Who knows maybe I will get the itch it’s still early

This time every year I start to get interested in spring bears.
No Baiting in my area, and really no point going out until first week of May
Last couple of years I've seen more grizzlies than Blacks tho.....
Still fun to get out behind the glass and look around.

Any bears down yet??? It's pretty early I know, but give me hope!
I went out today to a new area and didn't see any sign......about 600 whitetail, but no bear. Not much greenery at all, but I don't think it's the area for me either way

She is fun to hunt with. She just loves being there. No worries, no wishing for some other circumstance, she just loves the whole experience. She has hunted hard with me for bear over the last few years and has had the worst luck. Never had a chance. Until last night. And what a bear. Not many bigger get taken in this neck of the woods.
