Happened to me this morning,  walked out of the bottom,  got back to my truck,  2nd corner less than 1/2 mile and a bear in the road.  Glad it was a dink and not a 200+,  did give me time to get out and take a quick look through the binos before it ran off.  Kind of ironic,  walk 3 miles in nothing,  walk back 3 miles,  get in the truck and see a bear.  Well they are starting to get active,  last two times out I have seen bear,  just not one I want to tag.  Did see some nice big blacktails in a clearcut this morning though.

Me and Jenna just got back..Not much moving in the wind but we did see our very first cougar!     After all this time in the woods I come around a corner and there he stood!   Probably 15 yards infront of my truck!  He ran up a creek draw and disappeared just like that!   But heading back out now to try a new area!  Good luck all!    Justin

Thats sweet, Nothing like big cats!
Good luck out there!  I am in a airport right now headed to AK to film brown bear hunts. I should be seeing plenty of bears within a couple days, and will post some pics if you guys like.

Went out to Hancock yesterday saw two, 1st one about 50 yards away , he saw me and bolted no shot dang, dang. About two hours later jumped another one, he was standing in an over grown roadway,,, Got of one shot and watched as he bounded away un hurt. Learned a valuable lesson, those four foot tall alder saplings in the middle of an over grown road really mess up the flight of a bullet. Wont make THAT mistake again. Giving that area a couple of day break then I'll be back at em"

we bumped into each other im pretty sure. if you were driving a jeep. im pretty surprized you saw two bears in one day up there, nice. i also think i know what road you were on with the second  ;)

Hi Bone, i think so as well. I have been busier than a  ,,, well you know hoping to get back up real soon :)

Saw a giant the other night on the dry side.  The one time I don't have camera, and the cel phone pics look like bigfoot scratching his arse. :(  He paid no attention as I cut the distance to 75 yards with only meadow between us.

Walked up on one peeling last night.   We could hear a bunch of noise and sticks breaking but couldnt tell where exactly it was coming from but new it was close.   Well it stopped for a bit and I spotted a lot of fresh deer tracks and thought thats what it was so we backed out and went up the road to a landing and looked off and right below us was a fresh fresh peel that went up to about 40 ft in the tree.  I was looking at it and jenna say's..."hes bedded at the bottom"   This is about 15 yards.  All she had was a head shot and I wanted to get some good film of it but he had other plans.   He headed around the hill and i went to where we had started and their he stood.   A 30 second stare down at a complete frontal not offering any shot, then smelled us and pulled a 180 and was gone!    This the first bear she would have shot if given the opportunity!      Head back out this evening so hope to find the one!
