Good on ya!I know there's guys with *a lot* more encounters that I on here, my closest encounter is meeting one on a corner in a road with blowdown so thick it'd be nearly impossible to get off the road and go around. He roared super loud (I mean LOUD AF) and buggered out, but I didn't know if he was still there or not, I had no choice but go and see.I didn't see him, think he got my wind. I hunted his bedroom area for a few days, took hair off his scratching/territorial posts, he didn't seem to roam all that far really, figured he'd be 30 miles away, but I kept running into fresh sign. Elk hunting sucked there, so we moved on lolI've seen plenty off in the distance, but that was my closest encounter while not in a vehicle.
give it a decade or less, they'll be moving south and all over 49 degrees north/mt spokane area. theyre working their way into washington from idaho/montana and canada
