2018 Bear Success Thread

Fall bear in Washington, just a one night trip two bears. One bear the first evening, second bear after morning hunt on the way back down the trail to go home. We ending up not being able to carry down all the meat, fat and hides in one trip because the trail was to rough. Stayed a extra night and got the rest the next day.

Got this one in new Hampshire with a flintlock I built. Seventh bear I saw in a bout six hours.

Really makes me happy to see people get it done in the Northeast.... people sleep on the country up there

There's a lot more hunting up here than people think. Lots of rugged mountains, no people and game.

With fall bear season kicking off, I thought it would be fun to have a thread for all of our bear kills.

Post up your success photos from this year's bear hunts! I'll get it started.

We consistently catch multiple bears a week during the season.

Catchin bears? My mom still always asks if I caught one, I've been rolling my eyes for years but maybe she knows something I don't!

Beautiful Bear. Were you on a self guided hunt or did you go with an Outfitter, and if so who did you use?
