Newish?
Most bears that are killed in Wyoming are off a Bait. Even in western Wyoming we rarely see bears in the day. Yellowstone excluded.

Weird. I've seen more bears spot and stalk/glassing in Western Wyoming than anywhere I've ever hunted bears in MT or Idaho. Perhaps since the hunters mainly bait, they believe the bears are nocturnal and immune to being glassed while feeding normally? Here's a few western WY bears, taken by spot/stalk, one being a 7 foot bear, 19-15/16 skull. All over the counter, public land hunts.
Dang man! Now you have me brainstorming some hunts! I’ve hunted in the Wyoming range quite a bit in the past. We’ve seen Griz but no black bears, just sign. I will have to try a different area. Awesome bears!!

I am pretty sure I have bear envy. The photo of the chocolate one is too cool.

I'll take the third one...
I have to say, as a nonbear hunter (so far), there are noticeably few, stories or reports of spot and stalk bears in WY compared to MT. Enough so that it convinced me that MT was somehow different.

It is different- it’s not legal in MT to bait.I'll take the third one...

Not interested in bait or dogs.
Are the Big Horns any good for black bears? The Absarokas seemed to be full the brim with both kinds of bears.

2018 Spring bear, Southwest MT, spot and stalk (actually, more "right place, right time", short stalk, then shoot.)
Antelope, 2019, opening day archery season. Spot and stalk. Southwest MT.
Mule deer, Northeast MT, Thanksgiving 2017. Super cold. But it's NE MT in November, so that is a given....

I'd forgotten how great this thread was... seems like in 3 years we'd have a few more submissions.

My guess is whatever it is - it has 6 on one side, 7 on the other. Good luck!!

Remember per the OP, these are OTC tags or easy to draw <2points.
Also, some of you need to address pics you posted that don't load.
Also also. My gosh GH has killed a ton of "big ones"

Thanks for bringing this thread back up, I had not seen it and love seeing great animals taken on more attainable tags.
