Hunt Talker Hunt 2014

[Randy11]

This hunt sounds fun for sure. I see most of my bears in the evenings, but I try to hunt all day because bears are active in the spring. The red bull can help with the long hours while bear hunting.View attachment 39099

Beautiful hair on that one. Is it a sow?

We'll be pretty close to a little town John.

Nearest gentlemen's club will be in Missoula.

Tire John out so he won't feel like shucking singles at night ! HAHA.

Yes she was a small sow. Couldn't pass her with that color and the white patch. Only bear I've shot with the white chest.

Can I just go to wal mart and buy my tag when I get there as long as I have my bear test with me? Is there any way to buy it online ahead of time?

If not available for sale now, they'll be available in the spring when the system is fully online for fall hunt applications and the 2014 spring season. You'll have plenty of time to grab one.

Hi guys. Do we have anymore interest from anyone else?

 

[jryoung]

There's 16 guys in the Google Group, I'm sure a few are lurking, not all will be able to make it, and we'll pick up a few guys last minute or as this thread keeps coming up.

Hi guys. Do we have anymore interest from anyone else?

I'm in 100%.

 

[Dave N]

Back when it first came up I was all for it, but now we're going back to Alaska and HOPING to go out to the Grand Canyon this summer. Looks like my vacation time is spoken for.

 

[Gerald Martin]

Jryoung, I'm not sure I'm in your Google group or not. I thought I sent you a PM. I'm planning on trying to make it to provide some support if I can make my schedule work out.

How abot giving prizes for whoever kills the biggest bear? We could call it a bear derby... to soon?

In all reality I sent a PM so I don't know the location yet but if it were close enough I could hunt Idaho and still camp in MT it would save me the out of state tag fee. My biggest hang up will probably be Mothers Day but I will at least try to show up for a night if its close enough to home.

 

[jryoung]

6 speed, send me a PM again with your, it looks like I did miss a few guys.

That said, it's looking like we'll be NE of Missoula, too far from ID, but you're certainly welcome to come camp and help out Cushman!

 

[JohnCushman]

Am I the only one that's going to be hunting? lol

 

[DreaminofMT6X6s]

Are there any strip clubs nearby?

Three Forks...nough said! YIKES!!

My bear ID test is complete and submitted to ALS.

That very could well be a benefit to us...

How did you submit your bear test already? I took mine a couple weeks ago

 

[jryoung]

I'm hunting....just not calling myself a " Newb bear hunter on the 2014 HT hunt".

I'm gonna fake it 'til I make it.

 

[MinnesotaHunter]

I just had to enter my ALS number after I took the test, and hit a button undernieth it to submit to ALS. I assume it stuck. I printed it off as well just in case.

 

[JohnCushman]

Well crap....I don't have an ALS number yet
