stevebeilgard Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 i hunted the dworshak dam area by oroville in 1978. saw tons of bears, but they were real small, 200 pounds tops. we trolled the lake and saw the bears along the shorelines. good fishing, and all the morels you could eat.

fly Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Here's one of my 2010 Idaho bears. Got the full mount back this past summer and he is now in my living room. The taxi work was from Steve Brett in Florence (maybe 15 minutes north of Hamilton). I hunt along the Lochsa river. Went in 08 and again in 2010 (DIY). Going this year as well - mid-June. May run into you! LOL Last years trip got snowed out. Roads didn't open till June 24th and the season ends the last day of June. It can snow any day of the year around the Lolo area.

fly Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Not sure where we'll be camping yet. Usually a mile or two behind the lolo visitor center or at the white sands camp ground near powell. If ya see this rig stop in and have some coffee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Good luck with the bear hunt and with the moose draw too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 you know, with all this interest in bear hunting maybe we should put together a bear hunt in alaska for 2012. lots of bears up there, with some 8' bears taken each year. you read that right. anyway, i have a place to stay with no experience on how to hunt bears except for the part where i see bears daily. i have a 3 bedroom place with no one to use it. how terrible is that? anyway, let's see if anyone is interested and we'll get working in it.

fly Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Steve, if I hadn't already set this Idaho trip up with 2 buddies I'd be IN! Seeing a bear is a major rush! Mine was only 200lbs - not quite 6 feet, but still produced the same feeling as seeing a 160 inch whitetail. Boys, this is a great offer to take Mr. Steve up on.

stevebeilgard Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 i meant to say 2013, not this year. so, we'll see who wants what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 2013 - Awesome! I teach and can get up to half a summer off (5 weeks in mid-May through mid-August) if I know far enough ahead. What time of year and for how long do you think this trip would be Steve? I checked and airfare is about $850 RT from St. Louis to Anchorage so the price is doable. Would another flight from Anchorage be necessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
