Saw a little guy last night , 125 - 150 lbs. , nice dark chocolate color . Looked like he would have been nice and tender but he didn't give me the opportunity to find out . Still have not found any fresh peels , did find some nice grassy areas in some jack firs that a bear had been on .

We are now seeing a lot of peeling and fresh sign . Friday talked to Clide , says 2 bear have been taken so far . Been doing a little bit of calling , called a cow elk to within 10 yards of my wife using a calf in distress . Yesterday using a rabbit distress had one come in a thick area we were calling , came straight in , but hung up short , heard him huff a couple times then he circled us until he got our scent .That seems to be a common theme for us when calling bears and coyotes in there .

Of course the year I don't get drawn is the year I see more bears. Lots of good sign. Good luck to all you tag holders. Remember, last couple hours of light is the best.

Good job on the coyotes that is awesome! Been seeing tons of little fawns running around. Good time to knock the coyotes down
