Unit 27 Bear Hunt/Deer scouting trip. - iwantabuggy - 09-19-2010
My brother and I went in to scout out an area for our unit 27 deer hunt. We didn't see any deer or elk and only found a moderate amount of sign. Here is what we did find: bones and carcasses.

We both had bear tags and on the way out we found this bear.

How do you determine color? Just curious if there is a standard or something. I've been calling it a chocolate.

from what i have learned and seen choclates are darker than that real dark brown that one has more of a brown with a red hugh and my bear hunting buddys have called them cinnamon. then lighter than that they start calling them blondes. buetiful bear though.

i guess there is a standard after researching a bit. but what we call chocolate bear they are just calling it brown. and there is some awesome info about why bears have color phases. here is the link [url "http://www.americanbear.org/FUR.htm"]http://www.americanbear.org/FUR.htm[/url]

Killed him about 7 miles down Rapid Cr., so yes, near Josephus.
The scenery alone was worth all the

Heading to Challis today and leaving for our hunt in the morning. Hope I can stay dry. The weather for the next week doesn't look too good. Wish me luck. [

Well. Just got back last night late. It was a lot harder hunt than I thought it would be. The deer were few and far between. We really had to move a lot. Didn't see my first deer until we hit 9000 ft. in elevation. We ranged from about 4600-9500 ft. Shot a nice, but not great, 4 point on Wednesday. My brother ended up going without. He didn't want a small one at first, then couldn't seem to hit one once he was ready to settle. You can see all my photos at: [url "http://s159.photobucket.com/...0deer%20hunt%202010/"]http://s159.photobucket.com/...0deer%20hunt%202010/[/url]

300 WM, 180 gr swift scirrocco leaving the muzzle at 3119 fps. Shot him through the brush at about 50-75 yards. My bullet must have caught some brush because the entrance wound was about 3 inches in diameter.
