8/15 Scouting trip pics.
« on: August 24, 2014, 10:30:38 PM »
Since everyone is complaining about a lack of backcountry talk on here, I figure I'd contribute a little something.  We took a 3 day trip into the wilderness last weekend and found some good bucks and a bunch of bears. Was a great trip I won't soon forget. I only wish we could have packed that brown color bear off the mountain. Maybe next year.  We saw 8 different bears, 4 of which were cubs. 2 bears I'm confident were stud boars. Also saw 4-5 nice bucks. Crummy cell phone pics through the spotting scope but you'll get the idea.
No landscape pics and no locations shared.

Nice, looks like a good trip. I hope you can drop the hammer on one of those good looking bucks next month.

Wow those are some nice looking animals you got there. Looks like a real hot spot and you should be able to do well up there. If you would like to pass along the GPS coordinates feel free!! Thanks for sharing

Very nice.  I'm hoping my area stops burning so I can get in there and do some scouting soon.  :tup:
