Hey my friend,what a great story and great pics,Beautiful country.I always liked trips where a little fishing was invoved.Topped off with a great bear ! Kudus my friend  

Well done.      

    Congrats!!!

Thanks guys, these mountains really are about as far off the grid as you can get without pack mules and there is lots of wilderness for them.

Arrow k9 you picked the right place to walk off, beautiful, steep, deep are the words that come to mind.

I'm going back next spring for a turkey hunt bought at a benefit auction for the Wild turkey Federation in May if the conditions are right I might try to combine that hunt with another bear hunt.

I don't have a lot to compare Idaho to as this was my second ever bear hunt (both in Idaho) but no bugs very reasonable outfitter prices and drop dead gorgeous country with the bonus of some really nice bears.

I'll give you a trail cam taste of the quality that you might find.

As far as we know this bear still roams the mountains.

I haven't got the finished Bear Rug yet but I got the clean Skull back....

How this for a set of Choppers  

Kip,

Congratulations on a fine bear, couldn't have happened to a better fellow.

Sweet!

Congratulations,the pictures make me miss the mountains

Very nice  

Looks like leg meets bear trap!

Excellent!! Thanks for sharing.

way cool !!      

Congrads on the Bear.      Man that poor Mountain man,one tough Ombre' !!

Thanks for sharing.

I don't know? I had no idea that some much of my man closet would be donated to my finished Bear!!! I didn't take a very good picture and the silver in the cape does not show up that good, but for my first bear I'm very pleased      

That is the Big Jim Buffalo Bow I used and the re-fletched Arrow with it's re-sharpened Broadhead
