All right guys, post up your 2017 bear here and tell us about it.
I've gotta feeling JBogg will be the next one to post a pic!
Certainly hope so. He’s paid his dues. And karma should be on his side too.
I saw this posted by Georgia Outdoorsman Instagram Account and it looks like a legitimate post. Anyone else see this?
Got my bear tagged by DNR, on Saturday. After a week in the woods, all I could find was the skull. Trust me, it was NOT pleasant. The carcass had obviously been visited by scavengers & possibly other bears. It had been moved around a clearing, and parts were scattered around. The lower jaw was in a couple pieces, but the main skull was intact.
I want to give serious thanks to Joe Brandon. He knew where I was hunting, and he went to look around. I got a voicemail Wednesday night saying "Hey man, I found your bear". Talk about a phone call that will change your night.
After talking to Joe, I made plans to go up Friday & retrieve the skull. When I got there, a truck was parked on the trail leading in. So I hunted another area, and tried it again Saturday . My nose led me straight to it. Collected the skull, and called DNR.
Its not the way I'd hoped the story would end, but at least I'm not still worried I made a bad shot. The skull is currently being cleaned by some helpful fireants. I'll post a pic when after I finish bleaching it.
About 100-150 yards but straight down a laurel thicket and beside a small creek. He wasn't far as the crow flys but there were some obsticles in the way to say the least lol.
