First Time Priest Lake, Idaho Spring Black Bear Hunters

[Deleted member 52995]

WARNING: ..... Better bring, an aerosol can of super strength insect repellent, short handled sledge hammer, and a revolver preferably chambered in .44 magnum for defense against Priest Lake's almost bulletproof, and near indestructible "Super Ticks." ..... No stoppin' 'em......🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷

They ain’t that bad... I feel like some people have that special something the ticks want. Between my buddy and myself I might have 5-10 for the whole spring season while he’s finding them crawling all over

I prefer using a lighter to dispose of them lol

I live in Priest and I must have nasty skin, I've never had any issue with ticks. I'm outdoors and often way off the beaten path quite often, and probably had less than 6 ticks on me in 15 years.

Wait until you shoot 1 of those nasty bear though, they're FULL of them

No need to be so specific of your location on public forums, but, I have only seen grizzly higher up, not down that low. Upper Priest if you can get high and hike in and glass, might see one.

I know where a den is that we have glassed a grizz, seen 3 of them in upper priest though. Several wolves up there. Priest is what really opened my eyes to wolves, had 1 run right in front of me across the trail 15-20 yards and never looked my direction.

Walked up on 1 eating a deer in real dark timber 2 years ago as well.


Sent you a message.
