Got my first Bear at Cohutta!

[WoodlandScout82]

I got my first bear on the last day of the Cohutta hunt! 170lb sow. Beautiful and fat! I am so fortunate to have gotten 2 animals on 2 days of hunting! I got a deer on Thursday and thebear on Sunday.

Congrats & great hunting all around. ?

Fine bear indeed. Congratulations! Even better that you had success on a late season bear.

Someone killed a bear Sunday, and Larry Etheridge(warden) thought the bear was at my place. He had misunderstood the hunter, and being a buddy of mine we had a good laugh over it. I think he finally got that bear tagged. That wouldn't happen to be yours was it? Congrats on a dandy.

I'm not sure if it was mine or not. I shot mine at about 9:30, checked it out at about 1 at the Cisco station. I was very specific on where I got it at.

It wasn't yours then. This one was killed late Sunday, and by the time the hunter got to the check station, it wasn't manned. I figured those warm temps on Sunday would have them on their feet. Congrats again.

Congrats!! That’s some fine eating you got right there

Thanks man! I had a great hunt! In all honesty, before I got on this forum, or went to Cohutta the first time, seeing your success up there just searching google is what motivated me to give it a shot last year. Now I've taken a deer, a bear, and a Hog from up there!

I've never tried it, but I got a Freezer slap full!

Kill a turkey this Spring, and you'll have the Cohutta Slam.
