Fresh Bear tracks

[Machias]

Talked to a houndsmen yesterday who was in the Priest Lake area day before Christmas looking for lion tracks and found a fresh set of bear tracks.  Very little snow so far.  He said the dogs blew up and wanted to run it, but luckily he didn't have any loose hounds when he found the tracks.

Yeah I was out last weekend and was sweating my but off it was so warm down here.  Still lots of green everywhere.  I would imagine a few males are getting up and moving around on days like that.

It might not be that unusual on the westside, but it's pretty unusual in the Panhandle of ID for this time of the year.

back in the day when i had hounds, i would occasionally come across bear tracks on the west side during the winter but they seem to be boars tracks, i think the females over here might hibernate but i dont think the boars do really no reason for it, not like you guys over there in the north east corner, never been over there in the winter but i hear it gets pretty damn cold and butt deep in snow....a bit off thread but do you guys have a real bad deer tick problem over there ?

When I got here in 1994 I rarely ever got a tick on me or any ticks off my deer or turkeys, I get alot more now on all three.

its funny that you mention that cause in the 80s and 90s i really dont remember to many ticks but i killed a 3pt a couple years back and damn near lost my lunch, his whole brisket was nothing but ticks, i have also noticed that the bear i have killed didnt have any ticks, well atleast not like the deer do, sorry for getn off thread boys

It was 60 degrees in the Wenas yesterday.   That plays havoc on them
