I went out a lot. 17 days in August the year before not including the other months. Did not get a bear. Did not see a bear during the season before that. That season I took two bears, but did not see that bear. He's been a ghost since. In the spring prior to that pic I trailed that bear for a few hundred yards and saw him at 35 yards. He was a minimum of 400 lbs in the spring. Beast.
