No pics on the trail cam...but...
« on: June 17, 2009, 07:02:48 PM »
Went to check the trail cam today. It is not in the best spot, but I have faith. While walking the trail, I spot a fresh pile O bear poo...not 30 ft from the cam, so I am excited! :drool:

Check the cam....nothing (but one pick of something very close to the camera). :bash:

I broke down and bought some apples today, piled them infront of the cam and decided to check this box gully, not far from where the cam is.

Not more than 5 minutes after getting to the box gully I spot this bear eating new buds. Ya gotta love the outdoors. I watch him at about 150-200 yards for about 45 minutes before he finally winds me and bounds up the hill. He had a darker snout. His body seemed big to me, but his ears looked a little tall...I could be wrong. He had a knot on his head...looked like a goose egg, but was probably just some muscle. It was great to sit and watch him eat the brush.

I got to see him a few more times as he worked his way up the hill. We parted ways as he went up and disappeared into the oncoming fog.

Made my day.

I will post the videos once they are done on youtube uploading. Sorry for the crap pics...brush was thick, and my camera isnt the best at far distances.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

I think they call them Pika's...they are a bit smaller than a rabbit and live in the rocks high up.
