nateNAU Report post Posted October 8, 2023 I was able to take this absolute behemoth of a bear this morning. I typically hunt the spring but due to the shortened season, late winter moisture and cool temps, I was not able to turn a bear up. I had hesitations about hunting higher elevations in the oaks due the great crop of prickly pear not far away at lower elevation. Well I'm glad I stuck with my original plan. 25 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really black but a very dark chocolate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
