Didn't see any Bears nor any sign...
« on: May 25, 2013, 08:14:34 PM »
Hiked up to a ridge near Bassemer Mt. (Middle Fork of the Snoqualmie Area)

I'm wiped. 4000ft up in 6 hours, 4000ft down in three hours.

Six inches of new snow at the top of Bassemer Mt. What an awesome hike.

Flushed up a couple of Grouse. Heard them all around. Might have to come back in September

Saw all kinds of fresh tracks: Deer, Coyote, Bobcat, Grouse, but no Bear.

I'm doing hikes at least one day ever weekend all Summer...

Hoping to spot a big Black Bear...

Had to laugh at the Obama sign. $800 Billion for a sign.

Did some shooting. 6.8mm SPC, one was a little low and to the right.

It kind of did suck being reminded of the terrorist disguised as a President, and all of his cronies. The messed up part was it was behind a locked gate.

Yeah, I'm still sore...

I bet I love my 6.8 more than you love your 6.8 :-). They really are an awesome tool. Distance was only about 50 yards. I was just rechecking zero as I had the scope on and off. I'm going to be out every weekend till the Fall. Hoping to not be the slowest one in hunting camp then.
