Five more weeks from our elk area

[Echomules]

Unfortunatly few elk pictures, but they're still there. The cameras have been in place for about five weeks. We were pleased with our first few pictures, one of a very nice bear.











To help reference the size of this bear, we over-laid a cropping of myself walking in almost the same spot. But I was about 10 feet closer to the camera, I’m 6-1 and 300 lbs, this is a good sized bear. She has a very nice coat having just awakened for spring.

Yup, six more weeks till bear season....

[Echomules]

Yup, we rubbed a little bacon grease on the tree. We were hoping it would entice a few interesting photos, never expected a tree climbing coyote.

If you look closely behind the bear peel you can see cow and calf mountain bikes...one is laying down in the road; the other one appears to be feeding along the grassy edge  .

Very cool pics!!  That bear is STOUT!
