Spring has been good to me so far. I've been seeing all types of things for the first time and am loving the warmer weather. Here's a few things I've been lucky to capture through the week. -

A few days in Idaho
Thanks guys! I really wanted to help my dad get a bear but after all the encounters we had he said it was the best hunting trip of his life. I can't wait to get back out there and explore some more. -

A few days in Idaho
My dad flew out from Florida last week and we went over to Idaho to look for some bears. Somehow we found just about everything besides black bears. It was his first time getting to hunt out west and we each shared a lot of first. The highlight of the trip was watching a moose give birth a... -

A few critters
I figured I might as well use the same thread and revive it. As a guy from Florida now living out west, seasons are something I never really had to experience or understand. Now I am finding myself thankful for Spring and all the critters that are showing up. Here's a handful of images from... -

Montana 2019 Spring Bear Season
Waking up to snow was a heck of a surprise today. A good day to go through photos from the last week of looking for bears. I've been seeing lots of deer and a moose but no bear sign yet. The ticks are also out in full force!- Oakley388

Montana 2019 Spring Bear Season
I don't know a whole lot but that grizz seems pretty big for just waking up! I have to take the car to the shop Monday morning so I'll make Tuesday my opener. From the missoula bears website it sounds like the grizzlies are out in full force. Good luck to everyone and stay safe.- Oakley388

Montana 2019 Spring Bear Season
I'm getting antsy! This will be my first time heading out for spring bear. The area I hunted in the fall has melted quite a bit and the bear sightings seem to be taking off. Anybody else heading out for the opener? From all my research I realize it's often better to wait until a little later but...- Oakley388
