Lots of Monroe Bear sign! Go get em boys!
« on: May 17, 2011, 04:18:52 PM »
Went out today to my 'bearadise' as I like to call it. Three weeks ago, there was no sign.  Today was a different story.
I hiked into the same area I shot my spring bear a few years back....sit down..bout 10 minutes later I hear a big "POP!"...along with some rustling....it was close, but I couldnt see what made the noise...sounded bearish to me...
wait bout 5-10 minutes...didnt hear anything else, so I thought I would check it out. Bout 40 yards away, (through some brush) Bear had snapped a grand fir at about the 6ft mark in half. See pics.
The other bear peels happened within 2 hours of me passing and were all within 50 -70 yards of each other... they werent there on my way in...
So, lots of sign....saw 5 deer...never did get to see the bears though...
Good luck!

Hopefully I can get out and put one down this weekend. Seems like they are moving a bit more lately.

Just something to keep in the back of your mind.  Your glove is laying on bear poop right where you'll wipe your nose next time the wind starts blowing and your getting chilly.  :chuckle:

Cool pics, too!
