The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

All these spring bear posts lately are getting antsy.
Gonna have to quit reading them or go bear hunting.

Congrats Mike, great story and great bear!!!   :thumbsup:  

       Those Firefly's are the mortal enemy of bears! Last year my Firefly attacked a bear with almost no warning or provocation.

To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Tim,
Thank you for posting the picture and story.  I can't tell you how much fun it was and how I look forward to going next spring.  This is the second year I've hunted with Weitas Creek Outfitters and Gary Haight.  What a fantastic, professional and friendly outfitter.  Last year it was just my brother in law and I over the Memorial Day weekend (3rd hunt), this year I brought three more friends and my brother in law.  I still daydream, at my desk job, about that afternoon.  I keep threatening my wife I'm going to move to North Central Idaho.

Mikel,

This is the guy who followed you last spring into Gary's camp - your brother in law got his bear on the last night if I remember right.  You are so right about the mountains of Idaho, they are entrancing to say the least.

Congrats.
