2015 Fall Season

We had a great 2015 Fall Season

2015-11-11-16-03-34

We had lots of big bucks, a couple nice bears, and picked up a giant pickup bear skull that we stumbled into, that scores 29 11/16” B&C!

3

This is the kind of bear we are looking for, if he is not 10 foot, he is very close too it!  These tracks were made either the night before, or very early that morning.

5

Bear Hunting is challenging when the entire river valley is flooded out!

5a

While some of us are stuck out in spike camps, in the rain and the cold, some of the guys get to hang out at the base camp and celebrate Halloween in a warm dry cabin!

6

Eventually the weather cleared, and Matt was able to take this great buck that scored in the mid 100s!

7

An almost perfect 5X5!  Heavy and even! Notice the debris around his bases, he was in full rut!

8

Matt was also able to take this nice cross fox on the last day of his hunt, as we were headed back to the base camp.

16

The Currier clan with the trips harvest, it was an unbelievable week of deer hunting!

After all the weeks hard work, the guides are worn out and need a chance to rest.

20

But no time to rest when the bucks are in the rut, here is Greg with a nice even 5×5!

21

And another one of Greg with a dark and heavy 4×5! Not to mention an extremely big bodied buck.

We run a pretty tight ship in our camp, packers arn’t allowed to speak unless spoken too first. But poor Charlie had something he desperately wanted to say…

Our ride back home.

The one in the middle is the one we are after.

A bit of distance to go to get to them. But we lack cover to get up into the cliffs.

20151009_190813.jpg

Out of nowhere a bit of fog rolled through and gave us the cover we needed to get to the ridge!

2015 Spring Bear Season

We had a great Spring Bear Season! We had great clients, great weather, and took some real nice bears! Following are some highlights!

Rohrer Bear Camp, this camp has been in continual operation since the early 1900s! And in the Rohrer name since ’82.

Hiram and Gilbert with Gilberts 9 foot Brown Bear.

Doug’s nice boar. Perfect hide and beautiful day!

image

A little hard too see through my spotting scope, but that is a 9.5’+ Boar chasing a sow! We watched him breed the sow in that meadow a few minutes later.

image

Marty and Master Guide Dick Rohrer with Marty’s great boar. The boar squared over 10’4″ and had a 27 4/16″ B&C skull! We caught this old boar chasing a sow just off the beach. We walked into the sow at 35 yards and this old guy was right behind her. It was a pretty epic day, Marty and I have spent alot of days over the years hunting together for a bear like this, we earned this one!

No description necessary, just big!

Gareth with a great bear taken on the same day as Marty’s bear. This old guy squared 9’10” and the skull was 28 4/16″ B&C! A great bear with a perfect hide! Gareth’s guide was Aaron Pingree.

Another BIG bear through the spotting scope, he is over 10′!

After all the fun comes the work, well honestly fleshing is pretty fun too, as long as we have some Cash & Haggard playing in the background (which we always do!).

Nayo’s bear!
