Folks,

Well I'm of to hunt Yogi on Friday.

I was at a Safari Club dinner last winter and unexpectedly purchased a Spring bear hunt in Idaho for U.S.$1000. The deal include U.S.$500.00 in taxidermy fees.

The outfitter called me a couple of months ago and asked me if I'd like to move it up to this Fall. I asked if he thought that the bears would be in good shape and he assured me that they would. So since Oregon decided that they didn't want me to hunt in my chosen areas this year (didn't draw squat), I decide to go for it.

Supposed to be many color phase bears where were hunting.

I should be back on the following Friday, but have to get ready to leave for a N.M. Antelope the next weekend.

I'll do a write up and post any pictures when I get back next week, if I've got the time. Otherwise I'll write it and the antelope hunt when I get back from N.M.

Wish Me Luck!!

Kill a big one!

All the best for a successful hunt.

What rifle will you use?

mrlexma,

I'll be using my tang safety M77 in 30-06.

Also bringing my pre '64 375 as a back-up in case the '06 has issues. I really doubt that I'll need it as the '06 hasn't ever let me down. But I don't want to take a chance on rifle issues.

Thanks for asking!

We'll I made it back and unfortunatly Yogi remains living happily with Boo Boo and Mister Ranger.

Had a great time, however. I posted a full report in the Hunting Reports forum, Idaho Bear Hunt - Korrel Outfitters .
