Are there huntable brown bears in Montana? I've seen several but they have all been around Glacier and most in Glacier. Are browns an over the counter tag?

NONYA- YOU JUST HAD TO RUB IT IN DIDNT YOU :)

2 year waiting period for me.. (???)

So when can I come up and go bear hunting with you??
My cousin goes up every year and gets one. He got a huge 12 yr 6 ft old boar last fall. It turned out awesome. He said I could go this year with them but my husband said I didnt need another taxidermy bill this year.. :>/ Men...
Wheres the best place to go?

Anytime,I cant gaurantee you a kill but I know where to find em.By brown do you mean Grizzly?If so NO,they are in the process of delisting them again so we can harvest them again in small numbers.I did kill a "brown" bear last year....

Ya, I did mean Grizz. Thanks for clearing up my simple mind. I guess I wasnt thinking endangered species.

Very cool "brown" Are you doing a body mount or rug?

 Is your husband as avid a hunter as you?

Nonya- He is a nice bear! lets see more pictures.. I cant believe your holding out on me..
Is it easy to spot and stalk them? I may have to take you up on the bear hunt..

kinzysdad - He goes elk hunting every year, usually the only one out of the family elk camp that gets one. He has killed 7 I think. My two bulls were bigger than every one of his tho :)
He loves to hunt but I am for sure the more avid hunter.. and proud of it..

Antlers, very cool. Theres a few in my exteded family that are the same. They hunt but the wives are more avid hunters. I wish I could get my wife to hunt but all she wants to do is catch them and bring em home for pets #-o

we caught a cub last fall, I wanted to bring him home but they wouldnt let me.. He was sure cute.. A big ol fur ball.
We got outta of there quick, we knew his friendly mommy was near by.. Im sure she wouldnt play very nice if she knew her cub was treed.
Id have all kinds of critters if he would let me bring them home!

Last year about this time I had calves living in my gargage. It was about -15 below..

S&S is the only way to hunt them here,their eye sight isnt the best but their nose is,if they wind you they will bug out never to be seen again.Most of Western MT is full of b bears,hunt logging areas with clear cuts and shale slides,they hit them hard in the spring,the fall season is a bit tougher,but the bears ar BIGGER.I did a rug,should have it back soon....

K,here are the 3 bears me and my partners took last year,the first one was a cinn my buddy took off my ranch the 2nd week of the spring season,his first bear,the next is a big black my other buddy took early in the fall season,that got me motivated to go hunt an area I scouted during the summer,i killed my big browny there on the first day I hunted it.My bear was so old they couldnt find a tooth long enough to pull,they estimated 20-22 years old.

NONYA - great bears.. Holy mackeral 20+ years old.. Wow.. I cant wait to see the rug picts!
great looking country as well.. So when can I come up :)

TheGreatwhitehunter- What area are you putting in for?
I had the Kamas tag.. Everyone Ive talked to said they hate to hunt Kamas beacuse it is a tough hunt. We chased for 2 months and never caught one, lots of chasing and came real close. They country is way steep and rugged. wore the dogs out quick..
I finally got lucky 2 weeks before my hunt ended.
I have some good friends that hunt down south alot and tree a handfull bears in one day..
Are you putting in for archery or rifle?

Was It range creek or Anthro That he drew. I may be able to point him in a direction if he isnt familier with the area.

AOW jeez girl ! Do you have any sisters? lol

Any way. I will be hunting bear this year with either a bow or gun. It depends on what I draw for deer. I carry a bear tag with me every year just in case because I had a run in with a black bear while pushing deer for a friend. I had tagged out that morning on a muley so I wasn't packing my bow. From that point on I carry a bear tag or small game license that way I am legal and never with out a weapon.

This year I will do a deliberate (spell) bear hunt.

Oh yea did I mention that most units here in Colorado are over the counter. =D> 10sign:
