Why do people think bears move around more with nice weather?  Nothing today and it's damn hot .  Did find a small 6 point set.

You're in prime time right now Trophy. I see more bears from 10-4 than any other time in the spring.

Really!? This is borderline crazy talk 😂😂😂😂

We've seen a few around 1. But 90% of our bears are between 5-8pm

Trophy, they look just like this. Hell, you'll probably smell them before you see them.
