Yo BTKR....took a little jaunt this afternoon and took some pics of the scat piles etc.  I wear a size 10 boot.  Everywhere this bear ambles he leaves some pretty deep impressions and the dirt is pushed outward from the pad.  I have average size hands.  One pic is of his bed area near his scat piles.  Give me your best guesstimate  :o



Vegetarians?..Vegetarians are cool.  All I eat are vegetarians....except for the occasional mtn. lion steak.

Pretty good size would be my guesstimate! Stay on top of the sign and try to get some pics.

Yah...I tried to the other night...sat in a tree downwind until dark...nothing.  I think he frequents only at night then goes up into the steep jackfir hillside ravine during the day.  Dont want to bother him too much though.

Heading for another 3 day weekend in the CF.  Hope to see fresh sign like that, and not more gummy bears :chuckle:  Anybody else hunting the Capitol?  Looks like their moving most other locations.

---Bearmanric, they are really starting to move in there. We seen a nice blacky but it was really movin' and was gone by the time we got out of the truck. Two other guys we talked to said the same thing. Hopefully this weekend we can catch him coming out.
