    I hope your hunt goes well. Please let me know how it goes. Where are you renting your boat?

    Prince of Wales Island - Spring Black Bear Hunt

    I was toying around with the idea of bringing an inflatable kayak in addition to renting a boat. I'll take a look at the Sea Eagle. Thank you.

    Prince of Wales Island - Spring Black Bear Hunt

    Thanks for the info. My hunting partner lives on a boat, so he'll be in charge of driving. I definitely intend to harvest the meat but I wouldn't have thought that the hides would be rubbed too badly by mid-May. That's good to know.

    Prince of Wales Island - Spring Black Bear Hunt

    I drew a spring black bear tag for POW for the spring of 2025. Now that I have the tag, I need to figure out logistics, and I was hoping you all could offer some insight. More specifically, I'm looking for suggestions for how to do this trip on an affordable budget (under $5k for rentals...

    What does your hunting preparation workout routine look like?

    I agree with this 100%. Also, not a woman, but my girlfriend hunts elk with me. Your feet will make or break you more than anything else. I don't care how much weight lifting or running you do, there is nothing that conditions your feet like putting on a heavy pack and climbing mountains. All...

    First Montana spring bear hunt

    You can almost never go wrong with 10x for binos. Personally, I like 12x but in thick timber, it can be overkill. For a spotter, I'd make sure the max zoom is at least 48. Most good ones are somewhere between 20x and 60x, give or take. As a general rule, the quality of glass is more important...

    Thanks for sharing that. That answers the question. I guess I'll have to wait until next year.

    2020 Spring Bears Thread

    Any Wyoming or Montana residents have some insight into non-resident bear hunting at the moment? I'm a Colorado resident and I know that both MT and WY both have restrictions but is there any chatter about those being lifted soon? In theory, I could self-quarantine after I got there with the...

    Looking for western hunting partner

    I love it here. Denver is getting a little crowded, though it's nothing compared to DC traffic. There's so much to do outside, no matter the season. I'm still exploring new areas to hunt but CO has a ton of units that you can hunt over the counter. All I've hunted is OTC so far, and with the...

    Looking for western hunting partner

    I'm from Fairfax, VA but I live in Denver now. I elk hunt out here in CO but I go home to VA and hunt every Thanksgiving. I'll likely be back there this summer if you want to connect then. Do you have any good spots to hunt in VA?

    New from Denver

    I was born and raised in Fairfax then went to school at VT. I mainly hunt near Winchester or Front Royal these days. What about you?

    New from Denver

    I'll take a look at the legislation. I've heard some opinions on the matter but I haven't looked into what the actual plan is. Thanks for bringing it to my attention though.

    Bear Sidearm

    Both pistols and bear sprays have their pros and cons. To me, it's whatever makes you feel safest when you're trying to walk quietly by yourself at 4 am. I keep my 45 on my hip when it's archery season. But, I'm also usually hunting alone or with an unarmed partner, several miles from a...

    New to the site from CO

    Welcome! I'm new to the site too. I'm located in Denver, after 12 years in Los Angeles. I understand your lack of desire to move back to Cali!

    New from Denver

    Hey there! I'm originally from Virginia/West Virginia, where I've been hunting since I was a kid. I spent 12 years in SoCal and moved to Colorado last year for a change of scenery. Whitetail hunting back east over Thanksgiving will always have a place in my heart but I'm now going into my 4th...
