    Evening shots

    A buddy shot a bear within the last twenty minutes of shooting light during the California archery season last year. I wasn't there to witness the shot, but there was no death moan. Once I met up with him we tracked the bear without any blood and started grid searching in the dark after we...

    Idaho Spring Bear

    Agreed. We have more snow and water than we know what to do with on the east side of the Sierra's. Lakes are full, the marshes are full, and water will is starting to be dumped into the middle of the desert to avoid flooding. Should be a good duck season though...

    Idaho Spring Bear

    Heading back to central Idaho this year for spring bear. Without giving away the unit, the snotel map SWE for the area is 102-128% above the median and significantly above last year. We hiked in May 8th last year and felt it was a little early. With the additional snowpack I'm trying to time...
