Not wanting to step on Klickboom or Sled's bear thread, here is another Monroe bear thread. Hopefully, the thread I write this year will have fewer dumb questions than the one I wrote a couple of years ago. You guys gave me quite an education.
Today was the first chance I got to go looking. I had to run a turkey hunt for my son first. Now his turkey is on ice and I can chase bears. He rode along with me this morning while I was getting the lay of the land again.
It is surprising how much things change over a few years. I have not found my map from the last hunt with all the super secret bear spots marked so I had to go on memory today. I found most of the spots I was looking for but they have cut some new roads and blocked off others.
We didn't see any new peels in the area we checked, but we did find fresh sign. We found one spot withe fresh poo in the middle of a patch of mowed grass. (Sorry, but the poo pics are still on the camera.) We went past the area and then came back through it later to find more poo. I didn't need to check the temperature to tell how fresh it was.
This wasn't supposed to be a long trip so I didn't have my calling gear along. Next time I will be prepared.
The big question was, who took the shot just after noon? It couldn't have been far away and a single shot usually means hunting.
