2023 spring bear
« on: April 30, 2023, 09:03:35 PM »
Made first trip this weekend.
Timing seemed perfect but could glass up any bears
Few moose , lots of deer and coyotes and turkeys.
One bull we named Elliot he had both antlers one day and lost one overnight.
He had a deformed horn.  Glasses up a cool 6pt shed, could get to it.
Got 10 days next week so hopefully it’s another good year.

No meat in cooler
Had a good time, saw bears, several moose, and tons of elk.
Almost pulled trigger on a red colored ear but just ran out of light.
Will take daughter this week
