2016 Washington Bear

[338Bearslayer]

After a few long days of glassing some high country for muleys during the first few days of season with a blown stalk and another 3 hour belly crawl though the sub-alpine on one of the biggest mule deer I've ever seen in this state at clean 27 yds miss....I reverted to what I know best. The long end of a bang stick. Having seen a few bears over the days but nothing of size I glassed this guy up at 900yds at daylight one morning. He made his way across an ancient clear cut feeding on grass and berries. Come to a stop at 504 yds.

Drew a spring bear permit for Washington and had already purchased an OTC tag for MT. Gonna be a busy year!

Which WA unit?

Hoping to get out for Idaho spring, kind of depends on how this broken ankle does when the cast comes off.

Kelly hill. 105 I live here so it should be an easy one. Cut one set of tracks this last weekend. Not a very big Bear though.

I haven't been in 105 for a very long time.

It's early yet. Good Luck!
