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!

Saylean: keep hunting & writing.  You've been on my bestseller's list since your spring hunt.

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!
