Did it taste like bear?

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I also have a tag in 49, and hope to run into BullBlaster this weekend.  I would like to see his bear with an arrow sticking out of the hide. 

I sadly have to wait until saturday.

I've got bear tracks in my back yard (about 4 1/2" across the pad). Now I just have to get him figured out by August.

that's a big pile of poo

I hope to get to see the bear that did it!  Did see 2 coyotes and a very small bear this morning.  Coyotes came running in to about 100 yards on my first setup,  just didn't want to shoot a yote and waste that area.  There is a big bear in there somewhere.   :drool:

Only a sow and cub in all my spring walkabouts thus far..





sorry photos are a little grainy.
I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.

My cousin got within a 100 yrds of one this evening right where we were all day in the rain, It winded him and was gone. (he didnt see it, but heard it ripping stumps) I had things to do at home and then the sun came out. :bash: Mark

I found some large tracks while riding horse that were wider than the base of my hands.  The biggest tracks I've seen so far.  It will be fun to try for him in the later season after our mule deer hunt.

Good luck all! If anyone hunting Monroe needs help dragging, skinning, butchering, etc... I'd love to be a part of it. I've never done any of that but I can labor and I have a degree in culinary arts where I learned to cut meat among other things. I'm unemployed and can usually make time away from my 2 year old son and my homework. I'm not looking for any compensation other than the experience and maybe a few pointers for my own hunting.

Thanks. Could have gotten a little closer for some more premier photos if the boyfriend hadn't walked about 50 yards from the two unbeknownst to him.  :chuckle:
