    I met your dad Monday at Bull Basin Archery shop. We had a good time talking all about the hunt. Good times for both of you. My son comes down from Seattle for the bow elk hunt every year. One of these years we'll tag one. Enjoy the time you get with him, I'm sure he does.

    We have many great memories together.Just like im sure you and your son do. I'm glad you got to meet him he was very excited about tagging his first bear just like I was.

    Huge congrats on your bears! Sound like a lot of hard work finally paid off! Thanks for sharing. Since you didnt see any bears before that big move, what was the difference.....were they eating different food, more water, more cover?

    More water and a different food source. The concentration of bears we found were still hitting the prickly pear. We were to high in elevation I guess. Or we just got lucky:)

    Thats so awesome, Big congrats. Thats exactly where my dad and I are at right now, both of us trying to get our first bears. My dad is my only "consistent" hunting partner and every hunt sucessful or not is a memory I'll cherish forever. Nothing like getting it done with your Pops, nice job.

    Beautiful Bears by the way.

    I'm in your boat my dad is also my only consistent hunting partner also. Cherish the moments with your dad! Good luck hope you guys can get it done.

    As I sit here posting these pictures I can't believe what has actually happend. My dad and I set a goal of getting our first bears and we both did it on the same day! After hunting hard for 5 days. We doubled on Bears! After not seeing anything for 2 days of long hikes and hard glassing. We made a big 3 hour move to another location and it paid off big time. After moving we glassed up 7 bears in 2 days! We saw more bears in those 2 days then my dad and I have in our whole lives. It was an adventure that I will never forget!

    I have not used the Swarovski but I have the CRF and love it, it is amazingly fast. I have had it for 3 years and have not replaced the battery yet.

    I have the Swarovski range finder I love it! The optics are crisp and clear and are great in low light conditions. My only complaint is its a bit bulky and heavy. If I was gonna buy one now I think I would probably go with the Leica.
