Thegrayghost Report post Posted September 5, 2014 Just want to say a big congratulations to my brother for one heck of a hunt. he put in a total of 84hrs in a blind trying to tag his first bear. on the second day he was able to shoot a nice bear. unfortunately wasn't able to find it after looking for it till the sun went down and then again the next day. until no more blood was found and concluded the bear was long gone. A week and 3 days later he finally got a second chance. while hiking up to the blind a Sow crossed his path and he put an arrow thru it at 25 yards and a second one at 45 yards. she was dead 80 yards up the canyon. And now he finally has his trophy bear 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

520HUNT Report post Posted September 6, 2014 Congrats! Did this bear shut the unit down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidso Report post Posted September 6, 2014 Maybe. All female harvests contribute to a unit closing. Not sure what the quota was for that unit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
520HUNT Report post Posted September 6, 2014 Sow quota was 1, in unit 34 A, wasn't sure if this was the only sow killed in the fall. I know of 3 boars killed. Anyone know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidso Report post Posted September 6, 2014 Some beautiful color phase bears are coming from the southern units for sure! Pat Feldt recently guided an archery client down south to a sweet yellow-rust colored bear that I definitely covet. That could have been one of the boars. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
