Looks like I won't be making it out for a couple of weeks. trying desperately to wrap up some home remodel work before deer/elk starts so I don't have any issues with the wife and me leaving for a week+.

I know of 1 dead bear today. Not sure if it will be posted or not.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Same here. I went low instead of high and seen plenty of bear crap but it was a week old or more. I was out with the family picking berries yesterday and seen a bear in a meadow about 4400 ft in berries. I would have went high today if I didn't have my dad along.

Heard two rifle shots at about 6:08 this morning.  We will see if it gets posted.  Been seeing multiple bears in this location.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

I made a half hearted effort this morning. Started at first light and covered some areas where the blackberries are getting ripe. Didn't see much of interest besides one doe and a small buck. By 10:00 it was too warm for me so I called it a day.

We hiked in the night before and saw one that woulda been dead had it been open. Nothing on the opener. Didnt see any berries either.

My gf said she wanted to go hunting so I said ok let's go. We finally got out to the area I wanted to try and then came all the "I'm tired" "I'm hungry" "how much longer". At that point I definitely did not want to drop a bear and also have to deal with her. Oh well, good to get out I suppose.

I will try real hard to knock one down this week. I need another rug, I found a few square inches of wall space that needs to be covered.   :)

Sleeping in or did the photos and story get posted somewhere else?

Edit, found it in the success thread.  :tup:
