100% the predator reduction will help the herd bounce back. All the other reasons why they have gone down in populations are out of the scope of management. Glad to see an agency use the tools they have!!

Congratulations on your Bear . What caliber of rifle were you using and optics ? How’d your Kuiu gear hold up ? What didn’t you bring on your hunt that you wish you would have bought ? We’re planning a hunt this year . Keep on keeping on and Stay Safe !

Thanks! I used a Christensen 300 PRC with a Leupold VX-6HD 4-24. I'm a big fan of the Leupold optics and the custom dial system. I have them on all of my rifles and I've never had any sort of an issue. The 300 PRC performed well and I didn't require a follow-up shot, but I had some serious concerns regarding ammo leading up to the hunt. I'd be happy to share more if you're curious. The Kuiu gear is top notch. I would highly recommend their rain gear. I have the Kutana Storm Shell and love it. Don't buy it full price - they have some sort of a sale on it pretty much every quarter. There were definitely things that we didn't have that we wished we would have, but this hunt was outfitted so there wasn't much choice in camp gear. I would have had a very different setup on a DIY. What is your upcoming hunt? I've done DIY and have a lot of suggestions. I also have a DIY moose hunt in AK coming up this fall that I'm planning for.

When we first spotted the bear, we were elevated (maybe only a couple hundred feet) on a hill. He was at the bottom of the hill on the backside of a group of alders. As we moved down the hill and lost elevation, we could only get so close before we started to lose sight of him because of the alders. The closest we could get while still having a clear view of his body was ~225 yards. At that point, the only option was a standing shot in open terrain with nothing to rest on. My guide even offered his back as a rest, but I wasn't comfortable taking that shot. We moved laterally hoping for a better setup and that was when he went into the alders and popped back out on our side of them.
