Five more weeks from our elk area
« on: June 07, 2010, 05:26:18 PM »
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.







A bear checking out the camera.









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

~  ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.

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  :chuckle:.

Very cool pics!!  That bear is STOUT!  :o
