Close to be ready for a 5 day trip. Hope at least 1 of the 4 bears I've seen will appear in range. Good luck all

Now that we're close...

August 1st, is a Saturday. I'm going to be out there. I have a place I've been scouting. It should be an awesome experience... kayaking in, hiking some, camping, glassing and glassing, spotting (hopefully), stalking, etc...

I predict good times.

Good luck to everyone.

I'm buying new optics this weekend. Haven't decided on 15x50 viper hd or 15x56 vulture hd binos or 15-45 viper hd spotter.
And Trying to decide on buying my normal 150gr Hornady sst superformance ammo or having my cousin load me up 100 rounds of 150 or 175 accubond lr rounds for my 7mag. So i enough to dial in a new drop chart

Not much time to get my act together. But I'm super excites after 3 very hard hunted seasons and getting my first bear last October. I'm very confident in this coming season.

Thee best excuse to get out in the woods and enjoy the summer.  I'm never far from ready and will be in camp 31st for sure.  Like earlier mentioned, it should be a grand experience this year.

Here's my Remington 700sps 30-06, Nikon Buckmasters 4.5-14×40mm,  KRG bolt lift. Already had my tag scince I tried for spring permit. Good luck everyone this fall. :tup:

I'm already amazed at all the ripe berries I am seeing coming on. They are everywhere! Find a good berry patch and you'll be on the bears. By August 1st there should already be piles of berry filled sign everywhere. Good luck to all!
