did I stumble on a good spot?

I would be sitting on that spot early and late, although you never know, saw  bear out today in a meadow  at 11 AM when it was 75 degrees!

i ran into 3 in 24 hours all in 90 degree temp mid dayish.  see em movin around all hours of the day.  had one following me down a draw yesterday in the middle of the day, stalking me i guess.  it took a dump right in my foot prints as it was following me

that was in an area with a sept 1st opener, not aug 1st.  elevation between 3500 - 5000 feet.  also i should probably clarify, every one of them in that heat was right by a stream
