saw on the news this morning that it will be in the low to mid 70s this weekend (hope that stays true). get out there and whack a bear.

[jgorley]

Yes that was us and yes we heard all the calling.
It sounded really really good.
Did you guys call in a yotee or was that a call? The one sounded really close to our camp.
I knew i should have come over and BSed with you guys.
The word on the street was that you guys were there a week.

you going back?
yeah that is the third time i have stayed i that same spot.
prolly be there again.

Yeah, I will be heading back on 6-11 after work.  Usually don't get in until 10 or 11.  It is a 2.5 hour drive for me to get there.  As for the yote, don't remember if I was being a smarta$$, or not.  It seems like every time I get set up and start calling, we see 3 or 4 rigs driving by.  Then I usually give up and make some silly calls.  Hey, you never know, it might pique some curious bear to look up at me for a dose of Nosler. 

Last weekend I sat about 2 miles from there crosshairs on a "bear" for at least 25 minutes.  Through some brush, could only see the ears and right side of his head, the arc of his side to the ground.The wild raspberry bushes, at least that is what they look like to me, were covering him pretty good.  Had my brother calling him from another spot.  He never twitched an ear or moved a muscle.  He was far enough out my 6x binos could not pick out any details, and my 4x scope wasn't any better.  Wouldn't you know, it was a super rare Stump Bear!  No kidding!  Saw it with my own eyes.  Good thing I didn't pull the trigger, my brother would have never let me forget it!

Any how, good luck and maybe we can catch up this weekend!
