Well I just got back into town from my bear hunt with dogs in British Columbia. I was a bit torn about using dogs, but overall it was a great hunt. The dogs are very effective and with them we never set out on anything unless it was a big boar. I highly recommend the trip if you are looking for a shot at a big bear. We took 6 bears in 5 days including two nice colored bears.
My bear was almost 7 foot and weighed in at 350#.

Nice bear.
Never thought of chasing bears with dogs.
 
Handsome bear. That big boy has some claws on him.
 
Congratulations on your big bear James! I still don't get the boar verbiage...
 
He looks great James. (y) Congrats.

How long up and down mountains did it take?

Jerome boar is simply what the male bear is called. The female is called a sow. Just as the male deer is a Buck and the female is a doe.
 
By the way nice bear James

I know but it just does not compute nor make sense to me. Just do an image search on google under boar and sow and you will see what I mean or think of… just no association to Bears for me. I guess I just did not grow up hunting Bears!
 
that's a cool ,cool bear james....
bit of size in the foot of that big fella...
it would be a fast hunt , off the hounds wouldn't it ?

im hearing ya, on the boar , sow thing Jerome
I can only imagine them as bears...........
 
Sorry for the slow reply's came back from Canada with the flu as a nice souvenir from the trip.

The dog hunts go pretty quick, usually only a couple hours from the time we set the dogs out. The thing I really liked about it was it allowed us to be selective. Once the dogs hit scent we were able to look at tracks and make a call on the size based on the prints then release the dogs if we saw fit. The only time the dogs were on a small bear was when two bears crossed and the dogs got mixed up. So we took some pics and pulled the dogs off and set off after more. It is a very effective means of hunting them.
 
Nice bear James(y) Congratulations:D Beers:
 
Congrats James, nice bear!
 
Hey James, very nice bear. Congratulations!
 
Congrats on that bear, what a brute! I just got back from my first bear hunt ever, here in my home state of Washington, but I think your bear would have ate my bear if they crossed paths.
