double header grizz

[swampthing]

Last year nap , smoothbor and myself went on a great grizz hunt. Smoothbor spotted the only grizz of the trip but after a nearly 2 hour stalk the wind shifted and the beautiful big blonde grizz made a getaway.
This year Smoothbor couldn't make so Nap and I invited Pete K and Noahdawg to come on the adventure. Tags were secured and the last week of may we made the long trip into an area I know well. Pete K took a great blonde 7'1" boar and Noahdawg got a huge 8' boar with a massive head. We passed up 3-4 bears and saw a total of 7! Moose , caribou and porcupines entertained us while looking for the great bears. Out timing was great as green grass was appearing and hunting was good. We covered lots of miles by truck, boat, foot and had a great time. We had hunting light till 10pm and used it all. Here are some pics of our adventure.

Thanks for a great hunt guys!

[nature girl]

Those are some sweet looking grizzlies. Way to go on all having a great trip. And to drink bone beer to. It is all about having a good time with the fellow hunters.
Now did any of you guys get stuck in the snow or do any face plants in the snow?

Swampthing was a machine- no way I could have packed that thing out. Thanks again
Nap- we always have a good laugh, no matter at who's expense
Pete K- glad I was there to experience your first grizz. Hell of a shot!

Yup- he certainly motivated me to get up there. Never thought I could do it.

He also packed it out for me- I had enough trouble walking down empty hahah

[Blainer]

Great share!
Fantastic hunt!

[swampthing]

We had good action on a regular basis. On the drive in we were a few km short of reaching camp when we saw our first bear. Noahdawg was ridin shotgun when we rounded a bend in the road. Grizz!! he was about 400m ahead and going the same direction we were. He hadn't spotted us so I backed the truck up out of sight and took off after him. I was doing my best imitation of someone who could actually run, trying to close the distance and judge the bear. I got to about 300m from him and he was moving away fast, almost ready to disappear around a corner. I dropped prone and got the rifle on him. I didn't have my predator call on me so I did my best vocal impression of a calf moose in distress. It worked and the bear stopped turning broadside. Problem was I could only see the top of his head and his hump. The 300m crosshair settled on his hump and I took up the slack in the trigger. I still wasn't sure if he was a 7' plus bear and hesitated. He turned and disappeared. The wind shifted at that moment and the jig was up. Noahdawg had been watching the whole thing with his binos. When I got to him He said that was a good bear and he was waiting for the shot to ring out. It was a good start to the hunt.

I was able to sneak away for a little solo time one evening and hit my favorite river bottom in the area. I wasn't too far into the area when I spotted the unmistakable shimmer of a silvertips coat shining in the late afternoon sun. He was in tall willows and moving quickly. I saw a vantage point close by that would give me a better view. I set up prone across my pack and glassed for the bear. I was about 400m away and couldn't find him. I hustled 200m further to another patch of pines and took a standing rest against a tree. I just started to glass when he appeared in an opening and stopped. I sized him up in the crosshairs and guessed him at 6' and maybe change. I held off trying to make him bigger. He moved off and I went after him to get a better look. I never found that bear again. I tried predator calling him out but got no response. It was about an hour long encounter where I saw the bear for perhaps 2 minutes. It was exciting and I was having the time of my life.

Awesome hunt and awesome looking country. I've hunted up that way and man its amazing stuff!!

[Liveforthehunt]

That's awsome nice bears .... Looks like you went way up north cass region great job guys. What were the dates you shot the bears and were they rutting yet ? I shot mine on the 24th just starting

[markt308]

thanks for posting that was awesome! way to get 'er done boys

Nice to see a successful trip and a couple of nice bears. Well done guys and congrats

I like the quicksilver hunting hat. Nice work on the bears and that boat looks like a real workhorse.

Job well done guys! Good pictures, next HBC BBQ I'll bet there will be more "details" of the trip!! Moosin

[Elkaholic]

Nice Job all around. Looks like the trip of a lifetime! Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

[sniper58]

Looks like you guys made it all the way to Thutade Lake. The campsite looks pretty clean. Usually it's a garbage dump after the fall hunters leave. Even took time to go to Cascadero Falls.

How was the road? Did they get it cleared and fixed enough that you had no big problems?
I heard the there were some pretty soft spots on the road.

Congrats on a good hunt!

[Stone Sheep Steve]

Great country, great weather, great pics and a couple great bears!!

You bet we made it to the lake, best place to camp, the camp was in pretty good shape and we left it better than we got there. Pete and I walked into Cascadero Falls and glad we did. It is pretty cool. As for the road, not bad shape at all. One flat on the trailer going in, lost one tail light and that was it. We all had a great time and by far the best way to start a new year of hunting.

[Crab Bait]

Thank-you for posting all of the pictures and the story, made my Monday at the office. A great trip, and I bet there was some serious quality campfire BS flying. I'm jealous.


Thanks again. Appreciated.

I will be back in action for the grizz hunt next year so let nap know to be on his toes. From what I heard you had to bust your ass for that bear and made it happen good on ya pal and congrats to the deserving hunters lol[/QUOTE]

Don't worry Smoothbor, I will be on my toes. Swampthing did bust his butt, but you and I both know he is second to none in the mountains. Looking forward already for the 3 of us heading up those slides!!!!!

[ElliotMoose]

Awesome pictures and a couple magnificent animals fellas, cheers!

[smoothbor]

You bet Nap looking forward to it. Sorry I missed it but some bad planning by the wife that I didn't pay much attention to until it was too late but I will for sure be there next year buddy

I will be back in action for the grizz hunt next year so let nap know to be on his toes. From what I heard you had to bust your ass for that bear and made it happen good on ya pal and congrats to the deserving hunters lol

Don't worry Smoothbor, I will be on my toes. Swampthing did bust his butt, but you and I both know he is second to none in the mountains. Looking forward already for the 3 of us heading up those slides!!!!![/QUOTE]


Im in for a pack mule.

Looks like a great adventure. Congrats on the bears!

[klondikemike]

looks way too fun, nice bears and a nice hard camping trip doesn't get much better than that

[40incher]

Good show!

Looks like you hit the lake perfect for ice off. Timing is everything for spring grizz ...

Fleming will be pissed for sure.

[swampthing]

We had ice every day till the last day. I heard flemming was going to be in there but it was pretty quiet. He has better places I am sure.

It was tough going at times. While stalking noahdawgs bear I looked back and saw him high centered in the snow with nap frantically trying to pull him out

Thinking back ya must of been laughing!!!

[swampthing]

Thinking back ya must of been laughing!!!

I was cursing!! We had to move!! Peeking out of the slide alder and seeing that big boar right where we needed him to be made that a stalk that I will never forget. A few pretty intense minutes followed that. I had a rush of fear overcome me for a few seconds there that I have rarely felt while hunting. That's a drug you cant buy on the street.

Here is the video. Rough cut. Available up to 1080p.
The jet boat sequences are a bit noisy because of the wind in the small mic.
Overall a real fantastic hunt. Lots of laughs. Covered a lot of ground and kept busy.
