Just wondering how many houndsmen from Arizona & New Mexico are whinning about not being able to chase bears here (Arizona & New Mexico). I look at posts of people catching bears in Utah, Idaho, & Wisc, Etc... I do go up to Utah in their pursuit season, this day in age its tough with the fuel prices, and the lack of work. 2 years ago use houndsmens in Arizona proposed to the commission to let us have a pursuit season but havent yet seen it. Now I feel better that I got my whinning out of the way. LOL!!

Plan a utah trip and i will go with you , im sure your main man zach will go too he just sold his boat and has money burning a hole in his pocket.

The Bears are out in Utah for Sure been up there twice and planning another one in July during the summer season. Lots of fun. As far as AZ I will be focusing on Lion in the multiple quota units.

Good Hunting

tman did you go up there with coop?

Rockman,
First Trip we went up to early only cut a couple of tracks and never caught up to one. Second trip my dog went with out me and chased a "Nike" bear from sunup till around midnight when he was called off. Apparently this bear has been running for a couple years now and he don't know he's suppose to stop. Hitting a Quota Unit tomorrow and next week via horse back. July, back to Utah and before I know it August 1 will be here.

Yeah the first trip was with Coop and the second trip he took my dog. He's a great wealth of information and I am trying to absorb as much as possible.

Tman308,

Thats all part of it alot of money out of your pocket, and sum broken hearts when you dont catch up to a bear that you turned out on. . . . gotta love it tho, Its good for the dogs to pound out a tough track.

rockman I've got a BIIIIG case of the summertime blues. it's too hot!

Mike,

You are more then welcome to come up out of that heat and do a loop with me. The dogs have trailed two lions in the last two weeks. I think we were 2 days behind on both though because we never jumped them just trailed all day long. It was a lot of fun specially since I was horseback and not trudging down those canyons. I am also going to Utah in July sometime if you are interested.
