Bear Bownanza
« on: August 28, 2010, 04:52:22 PM »
Hike 16 miles into the high country and into 11 bears today. 4 cubs and 7 adults. Didn't even bring one home but I will be back. I could have shot one and have a little bit of video of him at close range as well as some other crappy video coming online later.

Wow - never had so many of those things running around me before.

The one I passed on was only 150lbs and was in at 15 yards for 20 mins waiting for a good shot. Lots of brush but when it came time to shoot I decided that there were potentially better bears. Then another one above looked better. He was only 150 yards away. Went up and played around with big cinnamon and he saw me coming and turned on his turbo boosters.

This guy was the one I passed on. Little. Got in close for a while and watched him eat some roots and grass. Then saw big cinnamon.

sow with cubs. Didn't know it until I stalked in to 50 yards. Cubs were real small. Then another bear showed up. Distracted me and it took me another 30 minutes to figure out I was looking at two sows and four cubs.

Real hard to see these ones. The one on the right is big cinnamon. Sorry for video quality. Looks like black dots.

Great VId.  Glad you had good time and best moment of your time in this High Country.  Long Hiking but worth it!
