Berries are looking great in the high country blueberries and huckleberries everywhere. Lots of bears up there. This one tastes and looks excellent, got it on tuesday.

Very nice! Cool coloring.

Well story goes, I have been going to the same basin in late August for the last 5 years aside from last year, I think I have got one up there every year within a quarter mile of eachother. Its a long walk into the wildrness, around a 23 mile roundtrip with 4K elevation gain. Lots of work for a bear but sure is a fun way to spend the day. Me and my father sleep at the trail head, wake up at 2:00 AM hike through the night and make it to the lookout by 6:30 or so. Spotted this one where we always do, put about an hour sneak on him and got right above him. I have no clue how big he, but I am happy. Then we make the looooong pack out.

So.....typically new members give up at lease one honey hole. However, it sounds like it is such a sweet spot and I'm to lazy to hunt it anyway you get a pass. Sounds like a gem of an area. Congratulations again and I'll be looking for more pics and posts of critters.

Thats a Pretty Bear. Every time a see unique animals (especially Bears) like that my mind automaticlly goes to work thinking up cool ideas for mounts.

That Bear reminds me of this one I did a few years ago.

Geez h20hunter.... What do you want him to do? Draw you a map?

Nice bear for sure!

h20hunter · « **Reply #30 on:** September 07, 2012, 12:17:05 PM »

Funny you mention that. I am of course messing with him and tried to convey that I wasn't serious of course. I owe a lot to a member of this site this year because believe it or not....he did draw me a map! That map resulted in one dead bear for myself. I've since passed on the karma and just now provided a different map for a different species myself. Trying to keep the good karma moving forward.

bowman · « **Reply #31 on:** September 07, 2012, 12:50:08 PM »

I know you did

. I was just messing with you.

h20hunter · « **Reply #32 on:** September 07, 2012, 12:52:13 PM »

Oh I picked up on that. No worries at all! I'll be having some more delicious steaks this weekend.

Ummm...H2O, dude... I would never give up one of my spots to you. Pretty sure you would pass the karma (and map) along to a few hundred of your closest internet friends. You just stay with the C-Post jokes. Keeps you from talking about my spot(s).

87Ford · « **Reply #34 on:** September 07, 2012, 01:00:53 PM »

Sorry for getting off track Russback, very nice bear.

h20hunter · « **Reply #35 on:** September 07, 2012, 01:03:57 PM »

No problem ford.....you are correct (about the bear)...it is a nice bear indeed.

b.roberts · « **Reply #36 on:** September 07, 2012, 04:54:17 PM »

That is one of the coolest bears I have seen. Good job.
