Congrats Tomme. You are the envy of all of us.

Sure is green around you. Just where in Col. did you find the bruin?

Congrats on the fine trophy Tomme. I hope to put in for bear next year.

I got him in NW Colorado about 12 miles south of Silt. There were a lot of bears in that area for anyone interested and there is BLM land to hunt on if you don't want to do the outfitter bit.

Something I didn't know before this year is that in a lot of these areas you have to apply for a tag over the internet as they go fast. I "drew" my tag on July 10th the first day they went on sale.

I was hunting at about 8500 ft and the one drawback for Elk was that there was just too much foliage. Didn't seem to hurt the bear hunting though.

My wallet needs some recovery time, but it might be neat to have an LSBA Bear/Elk hunt up there in 2008.

No, but I understand that it tastes like CHICKEN!

Thanks everyone. It was quite a trip.

Tomme,

Do you happen to know an approx. weight of the bear you took?

Brandon, I was guessing between 200 and 250, but that's just a WAG.

BrandonH · 09-17-2006, 05:31 PM

I was guessing around 200# as well. After planning and going on my first bear hunt this year, I've looked at thousands of pics and was just curous how close I was on my guess.
