Thank you azelkhunter69

I dont know if this has already been discused or someone can inform me on how it works. Due to the new license setup, if my license expired last week do I need to by one before I put in or can I put in and buy the license later?

The herd's are still there, two years ago down in 36a&b over the course of two weekends during January. We glassed up 15 different herd's. Went back a month later for my wife's rifle hunt and only came up with 3 herd's in three days. Those pigs where still there just not where we could see them.

So I am sitting on 18 points so according to the above link I might have a chance in 5-7 years from now. Key word there might!!

27"

Shooter is the draw length adjustable and if so what is the range of adjustability?

I was thinking the same thing?

I am going to be helping a buddy out on the unit 27 oct.16th cow rifle tag. Was curious to hear from past tag holders if they saw any post rut action while on this hunt?

Thanks guys for the responses!! Pine Donkey we plan to do just that. Get away from the roads and the road hunters.

has anyone seen a ram hit???

No hit here! Oh well.... has anyone heard of any ram hits?

Thank you for explaining this to me. I typically put in for only late dec. hunts so this does not effect me but good to know for the future.

How did he eliminate the chance of drawing his first choice? Isn't there still a chance that his number gets pulled and his first choice is still available? Or do I not understand the draw?

It seems like there was a burst of hits this morning and then it seemed to have slowed down. I am intrested to see how many get hit monday. Like said above it seems there is no standard to how they do this thing.

I got hit!! Just waiting on the wife to get hit!

Anyone had any luck on this hunt so far? Hunted two days so far, 11 bucks nothing worth shooting. Have yet to see one of these monster mules that are supposed to be roaming the SRV. Biggest buck so far was a 130" ish 4x4 with a weak top end.

This last Saturday in one of the border units I watched a 2x2 and 3x3 spar for a little while in the morning, then in the afternoon on the other side of the unit I watched another 3x3 chase two does around and lip curl a few times.

I agree with everything GreyGhost said, looks like a sow to me!

I have used canyon's and grizzly's, in my opinion the grizzly held ice longer.

Great bear cuz!!!! Congrats again!!!

Well I got my First bear on my first day of my first bear hunt, with my first shot! There seems to be a trend there... The morning started off with a mile walk up a ridge line to the base of a hill we have been seeing bears on a regular basis. It started off slow not seeing any bears for the first hour of light. My cousin and I kept at I and soon I had a small bear glassed up in a drainage to our south. Within minutes of spotting the first bear he had spotted the bear I un knowingly was going to shoot. After looking at it from about a mile away we decided it was worth a closer look. We cut the distance in half and sat down to get a better look at the bear. My cousin say to me he is headed farther into the canyon, but the bear I am looking at is still feeding in the same area we had seen him in earlier. We finally realize we are looking at two different bears. One is a nice solid black bear and the other is black with cinnamon highlights. I wanted to shoot a solid black bear, so my attention shifted towards it as it walked further and further away up the canyon and out of site. I then shifted my attention back to the cinnamon bear, we looked him over and I decided he was a shooter in my book. He looked to have a good head on him and the way the light was hitting the cinnamon highlights I decided he was great looking bear and he was going to be mine. We closed the distance to about 340 yards. I set up on him and my cousin said when ever your ready I am ready. I let one rip down range!! Once I got back in the scope all I saw was the bear dart out of view. I turned to my cousin and said did I hit him, he replied the shot surprised me and I missed it. Luckily one of my good friends and father were both watching from about 2 miles out. They had seen the whole thing and radioed to us that the bear had piled up about 50 yards or so from where he had been shot. We worked are way over to the bear, not realizing how steep and nasty the canyon was until we got into it. After a few pictures, the work began. One of the nastiest pack outs I have ever been a part of but worth it!

I have a San Carlos Bear tag that starts in a few weeks. This will be my first bear hunt and just wanted to get some opinions. Shoot or Pass on this bear? Photo Was taken from about 500yards
