There are bears all over in that area. Just because you don't see them doesn't mean they are not there. Bears have good senses, are often noctournal, and have a big home. They don't come easy: you may spend a lot of time finding one.

Good luck.

Three  things:
1) Taylor mountain
2) Yellow gate
3) 10+trucks at gate
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

But only when there's 10 or more trucks, otherwise it won't be any good. :TUP: :chuckle:

The first yellow gate... That would be the power station gate? A stones throw from I-90 and 18 intersection?

I was up Taylor mountain this morning. Decent amount of sign, tons of berries, but no luck. Had one about 20 feet away but the jungle of brush was so thick I couldn't do anything about it or move around somewhere for a better angle.
