Some of my best hunts I never even pulled my bow back.  Sounds like this was a great one for you. Thanks for sharing.

Bet you had a great time without having to skin a bear!  Thanks for all the photos Ryan.

I'm going over by Hell's Canyon this weekend with a guy and his 13 yr old daughter. They both have bear tags, but it's all spot n stalk with their rifles. I'm going along as a spotter and chief cook and bottle washer. Hope to have some photos to mail you in a week or so.

Sounds good Ron. Glad to your back out and about. I have to give a huge THANKS to my good bud Tracy (KSTRAPPER) for sending me a couple trail cameras to monitor the bait sites. Thanks again bud, and your next  :)

Great story buddy you two could pass off as brothers for sure. Sometimes we don't have to kill stuff to have a great hunt  :thumbsup:  

I'm glad the camera's worked out for ya, We will have to do it again next year I should be feeling a whole lot better by then.  :D  

Great pictures as always and that last mountain pick is great!! Thanks for taking us along.

Great story Ryan ... the fun is in the hunt, friendship and in this case all the hard work too.

I enjoyed this story.  Nice to know I'm not the only one who makes mistakes, but you have a good hunting partner there.

Great hunting story Ryan.....the photos really added to the story as well.

Not every hunt goes as planned......but it surely adds to our anticipation!

Thanks again.
