Title: Lots of bear sign, but no bear
Post by: Hunter4Life on September 15, 2008, 11:02:56 PM: I went bear hunting last week from Sept 10 - 12 near Rockport. Saw bear scat everywhere, but because of the hot weather, we did not see one. The bear bedding down early. I was looking forward to bringing Michelle a pelt to get a bear rug made :dunno: Oh well, I will be out again :chuckle:

Got my first bear this year. One thing I learned is how well they can hear. If they hear anything out of the ordinary sometimes they just bail like a bat outta hell. They move real fast.

Good luck. Hope you connect. :hunter:

Where I was at the berries were just coming out. I appreciate all the encouragement. I sure would have liked to have bagged a Yogi :chuckle:
