My first day of the spring bear season started out with a "WHOOSH". I was trying to negotiate this rut so I was on the left side of the road when suddenly this blasted stick met up with my front left sidewall. Hopefully Les Schwab will have me back in the mountains this evening. I stopped by and made an appt. as they were backed up. Later, Brian.

Gramps joined me today and we had a very nice day together. We only saw one bear but it was a better day than yesterday's fiasco with the flat tire. The bear was several hundred yards away and across a big canyon and on the small side to boot so we just watched it feeding on the grassy slope.

Good luck out there.  I think you may be on to something with your idea on so many tags going your direction.   :dunno:

We went out today but did not spot any bears. I sure thought we might but it was cool and windy all day. Too early still over here. May try again tomorrow if the weather clears up. It is supposed to rain in the morning, then maybe clear up for the afternoon.

I spotted what looked to be a mature boar this evening. It was about 1500 yards or so away across a big canyon. No time to get over there but I plan to go in after him in the morning and hopefully will spot it again.
