Awesome color!!I put a cam at one of my elk spots. I have never actually seen him in person but I have captured quite a few photos of him. Any guesses as to age/weight? He looks way bigger than the other bear that I am getting photos of. I've never really been all that interested in shooting a bear but he looks like he could make a good rug. View attachment 210627

Washington this year is a spring draw with 2 over the counter bear tags for the falls season which opened on 8-1 a full month earlier. If you got a spring tag you have the opportunity to take 3 this year. Fair chase only up here. No bait or dogs. No electronic calls. Bet fit and ready to walk.
Not meant at you but I love the fair chase only that came out of a regulations guide. I'd have to say bait, electronic calls and hounds is fair chase. I had a blue tick bust a bear in a corn field coon hunting never did tree that night and let me tell you you'd better be in shape if you like your dogs. I found him in the morning waiting on the field road where I parked! Bait I hunted in Maine the bear still has every opportunity in the world to not feed at the bait pile. I've only called coyotes and fox but you sure put on a ton of miles getting beyond roadside hunters that weren't raised in the outdoors after dark if you know what I mean! Comments not aimed at you but I'd say just about any hunting method is fair chase. Caged hunts aren't hunts in my book they're just killing an animal. Sorry to hijack the beautiful bear thread too but shoot it!!!Washington this year is a spring draw with 2 over the counter bear tags for the falls season which opened on 8-1 a full month earlier.
