Here is a few more pics, I went in saturday morning to this area and found a bear and had him at 178 yards with no shot for a half hour and he snuck out with out us seeing him, went in sunday night with my 13 year old sun and his buddy and told them to go watch this clear cut on our right thinking if they go without me they would have that kids luck and see something while I went to the clear cut on our left, I told them if they see something know what it is before you shoot but to take the shot when you did, about ten minutes go buy and one of them comes running up to me saying they found the bear, I ask why they didnt shoot and they said he they had there gun on him and as soon as they took the safety off he took off running.
I think they were so excited the bear either heard them yelling Bear! or smelled them.
Anyway went in today and found him in the same spot they seen him.
