desertbowhunter Report post Posted October 11, 2012 . As I sit here posting these pictures I can't believe what has actually happend. My dad and I set a goal of getting our first bears and we both did it on the same day! After hunting hard for 5 days. We doubled on Bears! After not seeing anything for 2 days of long hikes and hard glassing. We made a big 3 hour move to another location and it paid off big time. After moving we glassed up 7 bears in 2 days! We saw more bears in those 2 days then my dad and I have in our whole lives. It was an adventure that I will never forget! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trophyhnter Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Huge congrats on your bears! Sound like a lot of hard work finally paid off! Thanks for sharing. Since you didnt see any bears before that big move, what was the difference.....were they eating different food, more water, more cover? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since you didnt see any bears before that big move, what was the difference.....were they eating different food, more water, more cover? More water and a different food source. The concentration of bears we found were still hitting the prickly pear. We were to high in elevation I guess. Or we just got lucky:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kidso Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Nice job. I was up high this morning, and no bears in the oaks. I drove out past some prickly pear and they were still purple. I thought that the bears might still be on them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
