ivorytip, different areas, 2 of them easier hunts and the one I drew is more challenging, bigger bulls though. Got real lucky.

Bears are out, just had them come into baits 3 nights in a row, either at night or I was at the wrong bait. Ended up calling in a turkey and shooting a smaller one. They had pretty much shut down, not many calling.

here's a bear eating bait @ 2:00 am. Bear 5-21-17.jpgThere was another bear with him. Here's the turkey Turkey 5-21-17.jpg

I remember this hunt. I used to run around in that neck of Idaho. I'm curious where you guys took her bull? PM me if you prefer.
Congrats to everybody that drew.

Ikeepitcold, her bull came from the area right above Bear Lake. We found an area with a ton of cows and figured a bull would show up eventually... obviously it paid off.

We never saw this bull while scouting, but some of the locals had and were looking for him. He had wandered about 2 miles from his summer range to rut and we were in the right place at the right time. :)
