Fantastic story and photos, thank you for sharing and I'm sorry you missed him. He probably has no clue, go back in there and bring him home!

Thanks Sideswipe...I will. Hey! Anyone reading this who works for a magazine and wants an occasional article..let me know!
I will confirm how far we were in...but I believe it was 10 miles in, 10 miles out. Most of the way in was ALL uphill....

Thats a LOT of miles. My best day was 8 miles on foot. 4 in 4 out. A 20 mile day would kill me.

I have a few good elk spots I don't frequent anymore as it was to much on the legs and back. Maybe if I had a grass burner.

Saylean,
Thank you for the PM and all of the advice. I have now spent hours reading in this forum. I will let you know if I am lucky enough to see this bear again.
Thanks again!
