We were not near home.  We were over the pass along I 90.
We need a crusade for the children, a children's crusade.

Sat on one for 2 hours last night and watched it slowly feed around in some thick reprod never could get a clear few of the bear just bits and pieces.   He would pop out for a second than gone again for 20 minutes or so. :bash:.  Waited until 845 to get a look at him but darkness came first.

I coudn't get him on camera (cell phone) at some 400yds in/out of the trees/meadow, but I did stumble into his morning dump. Good bear eating grass. Field judged him to be well above 6' square, +300 pounds is very conservative. Very small ears.. Actually had trouble seeing his ears in the binos. -Somewhere north of Mazama...  :chuckle:

or he stumbled on one of those infamous pistol poopin bears, that are nearly as elusive as the hundred dollar bill poopin bears and knife poopin bears  :chuckle: :chuckle:

I went out yesterday in a half assed attempt its been a little warm ....ended up just playing in the creek/river  :dunno: if I hadn't taken the rifle I am sure I would have seen a bear :chuckle: hey but I did see some chick skinny dipping (other than myself) she must not have realized other people would walk that far back and farther on the trail  :chuckle: she seemed to think the tiny patch of trees had her hidden  :dunno:

today back to organizing this disaster of a house then maybe tomorrow or wed morning head back out and try again  :dunno:

Yeah...  The stools smelled like pepper spray, but I couldn't see any little bells.

 :chuckle:

I actually took the photo to prove to the wife that bears do actually crap in the woods. She seems to think they only crap in the middle of the road.

You know boys and girls, the bears are moving around when it's in the 90's. I asked the postman today and he's been seeing them at 1 in the afternoon.  :dunno: I've shot at them when it's that hot outside, missed of course, with my single shot Encore 450 Marlin handgun. Couldn't hear for a week, dumba$$ !!!

Up to 5 one little tiny guy last night.
  D-Rock, until I see pic's, those bears don't exist! :chuckle: I've been rehabbing the ankle and it feels pretty good. I'm hoping to do my first hike real soon.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!
