Thanks for the updates, sounds like they may be moving around a little.

Went out yesterday and saw 8 rabbits,3 grouse,17 deer,12 elk and a coyote! 
 
I think I found 4 peels from last year   They where all in one general area, is this a good spot to stay in or should I move on ? What time of day is the best for bear activity?

It's probably not a bad idea to concentrate on, would definitley try to find some fresh sign in the near future before spending too much time there.  I like mid day when the sun is gleaming!

I am planning on going back wednesday, this will be my 5th trip into the farm. I feel like I am getting to know the area better each time, I think I will get a little deeper into the timber. Sunday I was up around 3,000 and that is where the snow is. I got snowed on and didn't see 1 track of any animal in the old or new snow. What elevation are you all hunting at? I saw new scat around 1,800-2,000.

I've been spending most my time right around 2,000 ft.  A lot of guys like to hunt the snow line.

Went out yesterday and man was it wet. I was on a fresh set of tracks and he was pooping every 20 yards or so. I really thought we where going to get an opportunity to actually see him but no go. I though about calling but I did not have a visual and didn't want to scare him out of the area.
 
On a side note, I saw a really nice heavy 5x5 bull in velvet that is going to be a brute

Been in there the last couple of days, I was in Kentucky on leave the first part of the season, found a few fresh peels but thats about it. Hows everyone else doing now?

[Swatson]

Going in tomorrow! 

[dkecoleman]

Good luck, kill a big one.

Thanks, I'll post an update tomorrow night!

Sunburnt, elk, deer, but no bears.  Saw some sign and one of the biggest piles of bear crap I've ever seen!  Beautiful day in the hills though!
