One question, actually two. When does the auction end and when does the season end? The McCleary Bear Festival needs some meat.

WOOHOO! Looks like we'll have some bear meat for the bear festival after all.
I need to get in contact with Wapiti/Bull Nuts/Tater (Left you a message to call me at your number listed above and sent you a private message, just click the flashing envelope by your name at the top of the page), and I need to send Marty some money.

When is the Bear Festival? And will you be demonstrating how to eat bear nuts at the festival?
Have a great time up there and good luck on getting a bruiser.

I want pics... I'll be there when my boys are old enough to be in the woods. Went back on a scouting trip up that way today and seen another in the road. I stopped the truck and pointed it out to my five yr old. Awhile latter I'm flyin down a loggin road and I hear "there's one dad". I stop and turn around and ask "one what". My son Bodey says "there was a bear on that road back there". So back up real quick and sure enough theres a bear feeding in the middle of a spur road. Pretty proud moment. I've never shot a bear and I'm determinedf to make this the first year.

Yes it is infested. I logged on the Quinalt reservation. Fricking scarey to wander into the doghair treeline in the back of a unit at daylite and find the bark freshly chewed off the tree you have your tail blocks hung on plus a fresh steamy next to it. Visibility was like 10 feet.

Well, no bears tonight. John showed up rigt on time, with help, and we were in the blind from about 3:45 until 9:45, and it was my first time ever doing that kind of hunting not counting duck hunting. Change in plans #1, bringing a pee jug tomorrow.
Saw lots of crows, and with the racket they were making, I thought for sure they would have brought one in. When you're in a blind you get to hear the funny sounds that crows and Jays make, when they don't think there is anybody home. Just towards dark there was a ruby throated hummingbird that landed on a salmon berry bush about 5 feet away.
Crows hate whole wheat Pita bread, but the jays will eat it.
Thanks John for your help tonight, and nice buffalo horns. Try #2 tomorrow night.

Andy, try hunting in the "puckerbrush" in Alaska....grizz-land, and I don't mean that bearded guy....... you.....get my drift.. can't see 10 feet and there are these BIG tracks can't squeeze out a fart your pucker factor is so tight. And that there is the truth, and if you've never been in it, you'll think I'm lying. If you have, you know.
You guys will get a trophy blackie, I'm just waiting for the pics......and wishin' I was there....Good luck to you and Hunter.....you will get him.....

Our group took many bears back when it was open to hound hunting. There was nothing more hair raising that a bear bayed up. He'd grab dogs as they'd bite at him and chomp down on their back with their jaw making a sound as loud as you can clap your hands...
We had one bear that bayed up in a stump hole and it was super thick getting to him, he kept grabbing dogs and pulling them in and the sound of a hound dog getting chowed on makes your hair raise even more..... It's not easy getting a clean shot when dogs are flying in from every direction...
We also had one that was shot out of a tree with a pistol that came down and bit the guy that was shooting, took 3/4's of his calf off. That particular bear took a .44 slug to the back of the head at point blank range by my buddy.... That was our wildest experience..

Well, nothing too wild during today's hunt. Hunter did a good job of being quiet, and he was a pretty good sport. Saw some sign, 8" diameter poop piles, and on the way out we saw a bunny. Hunter wanted his Papa to blast it with the .45-70, but cooler heads prevailed.
Hunter donated a maple bar to the bait pile (legal for depredation hunts on the QIN), and it almost made it through the whole hunt when a crow flew down, took a few bites out of it at 8:30pm, and knocked it on trhe ground. "I'm gonna get that crow someday," Hunter said. Good to see the killer instinct rise up in him twice in a day. Gonna have to go on a crow hunt some time.
Time for bed!

Still going hunting today, meeting up with John at 3:00pm. I like the evening hunts, get out in the woods, sit still for 5-7 hours, and just experience the forest. I've never done the stand hunting for big game before, as I almost exclusively still hunt, or do drives, but in the right circumstance I can see where it has its merits. It was a huge test of will for Hunter to keep quiet and motionless for that long, but we had a good time.
John said that he has never had a client go three days without a bear, and today will be day three. We joked last night that one of us should go with Stan and John, and the other one hang out in the blind. He's seen them driving into or out of the area, so they are there, and the piles in the middle of the road prove that they are around.
I would also be interested in a spot and stalk hunt but my father-in-law's choice of gun, a Marlin guide gun in .45-70 isn't suited to shots much over 100 yards. The first night we were 32 yards from the bait station and last night it was 22 yards, so both would have been a simple chip shot from that range.
His issue is his night vision isn't that good, so I gave him my Red-dot holo sight to use for today's hunt. He's having it mounted and boresighted today, and we'll sight it in on the way up there. I had no problem making out the sights in low light, but with 20 minutes until full-on dark, he had issues.
Our spirits are high, and it has been a nice time sharing the blinds with my son and father-in-law, and I'm getting my money's worth. Hunter has a graduation assembly tonight, so he won't be joining us.
The pee jug was a big help last night, especially for Hunter.

Well,
I suck at transferring video from the DVD to Photo Bucket, but once I figure it out, you'll love it. Check the big game hunting section tonight or tomorrow, depending on my Photobucket-fu.
In the mean time, here's a photo.
