Sounds like a sweet job

They have to have these closures cause people are stupid. Most people are smart enough to know driving down a dirt road to camp that it is to dry for a fire. heck I saw a guy at willow springs a few weeks ago with a fire blazing and it was windy to where I couldn't cast more then 10 yards. We have to pay because of other peoples stupidity. I wish they would keep these areas open and just have more law enforcement around to nail the idiots but that won't happen.

Ha he is right though. I have a 22 archery spring tag and sucks not being able to hunt but at same time it's good to keep the retards out. I was sitting my bear spot few weekends ago and at 5:30 am I hear people target shooting our cabin burnt down in the dude fire and was rebuilt, don't need some dick head to start another fire

My dad and I where going to purchase a bonus point this year and hopefully hunt next draw period. I'm new to the Wyoming draw. Are you guys putting in for the blue chip units where you don't draw for a few years in a row?

How bout email?

I get the same thing on my cams in the summer. A lot of bears passing through all times of day and night, and they like to get close to your cam to try to figure out what it is.

What ever happened to .270 or is that lark to ha

Passdablunt ha classic

Of course there are people that don't care and will still drive and camp on closed roads. I've seen a lot of it scouting for my elk hunt and most people I talk to say they had no idea that riad is closed. When I try to explain it to them they look at me like I'm speaking Spanish. As far as up north goes there are signs saying road closures in effect but when your already up that far who is going to say well I better call forest service? Just need a good way to get it out to public.

The wallow fire was started by hunters? I thought it was started by 2 guys camping or maybe I'm missing something.

Bear for sure and it looks like your in my spot. Get out! Ha jk

I think a lot of people don't know about these closures till they are in effect. A lot of people don't know still even after. I know forest service says it's your responsibility to know but maybe there are ways to inform people. Maybe everyone signed up for g and f news letter can get emails on closures. I get emails about closures from game and fish but not all so I have to check the forest service web site to make sure.

Sounds like MAYBE one out of three bears could be involved. Or maybe none of them. They said hair samples from the most recent attack was from a boar. I remember they said Sunday they shot a 150 pound boar and a 300 pound sow. What was the sex of the one shot Saturday?

Just got an email that there was a 3rd bear attack and was in ponderosa campground again. It said the person attacked was hurt pretty bad With bad head and face injuries and flown by helicopter to a hospital in the valley. This email was from the fire chief of whispering pines fire distric. Anyone else hear anything more about it?

I started thinking the same thing today. Will this affect the other bear hunts in 22 or will they not even have a archery spring hunt next year? I understand points on both side, just don't understand what game and fish will do in a situation like this when they end up killing three bears while a hunt is going on where a single sow killed will close the hunt. Wonder if they have ever came across a situation like this. This is the first time I've ever heard of three bears being shot and all these attacks like this. According to game and fish, before this there was 3 recorded bear attacks in last 10 years. Could be wrong about that though.

Just saw on the news game and fish shot a boar and sow and sending DNA samples to Wyoming to see if either bear was involved with any of the attacks.

Kind of in same boat. I have a bull tag and ended up taking last week off for the hunt Thursday to Thursday. Just seems like a mad house the first week in years past. So I figured I would rather hunt them After they have been hunted for a week and get rid of some people. Just my thinking though.

Kidso that is exactly what I was thinking ha. My tag still needs to be wrapped around a leg. Kind of hard to hunt when all the areas I have been hunting are closed.

Haha nice. Took me a minute untill I read my post again.

There are 12 of them in my fridge right now.

I've been hunting around tonto village like always with my spring archery tag and haven't seen a beer yet. Sounds like I need to stick by the camp grounds and communities ha.

Already thinking about it. They usually out end of July?

Ha didn't mean to start it this early. Was just looking for date haha!

Nice bear and cool story. Sweet 2 bears came in at same time. On know on my archery spring hunts I spend most of my days staring at water. Congrats!
