I was contemplating whetehr I would shoot a bear or not on my big muley hunt.  Theres a huge one and a very pretty blonde one in the neighborhood, but my God thats a long ways to carry a bear out.  (which by the way, almost guarantees that I will see them)  :)

No bears today, we had one next to us at about 100 yards could never see it. This evening we saw a big brownie, too far for a shot. This hot weather can leave! 96 when we headed out this afternoon

This weekend should be excellent since it is suppose to be in the 70's.  Can not wait to get out there and hopefully fill the tag.  Good luck.

I spotted three bears. One was 200 Yards behind my house. I'm not looking specifically for them But if one shows up in Bow range while  on my Muley Hunt. Thwack!.  :IBCOOL:

Where you headed coop?

We are going to our cabin on Deep lake so we will be keeping it around that area. Probably Flagstaff a bit and then probably Ambercrombie and Mitchel Mt.  There are a couple spots we want to go check out.  You going to be up that direction?

Are you going to be up there on Saturday?  That is when we will probably be up there.  If so we will stop we will either be in a maroon tundra or older maroon tundra pickup..

I will be up there Saturday for sure, last night was a good night , saw 4 bears . One of them was a big brown bear, no shots fired. We could not get any of them to stay visible long enough to shoot. Hopefully this morning we put one down . Watch for rattle snakes!!! I have been a matter of inches of being bitten the last 2 evenings. I walked down a boulder field yesterday as I was stepping down I hear the rattles between my legs, just about a&$@ myself  :chuckle:

Good luck this morning but you can leave them for us on Saturday if you would like..   ;)  I did not want to hear that about the rattle snakes.  I absolutely hate them and was glad when we did not see any this last spring.  Good luck and let me know how it goes for you

I think we drove by you last Saturday when we were coming off flagstaff right where the pavement hits sheep creek road.  We were in a older maroon toyota pickup with black canopy.

Yeah that is always nice. I am hoping to get out there in the next week or so if it would ever cool down a bit..  I am suprised you have not got one with the time you have spent up there.
