Title: Cocked Locked Ready To Rock!
Post by: SilkWWU on September 26, 2008, 07:13:00 AM: Just finished packing this morning, coming in late to work, then head up to the mountains tonight for the weekend bear hunt. Can't wait. Hopefully this rain sticks around...though I just moved my blinds and it's looking a little more sunny...:(

Guys I am going with have already taken two bears, and swear on there life they can put me on one tomorrow, but as I am fond of saying "This ain't no NW Trek!" So we shall see, I promised my buddy if he puts me on a bear, bar tab's on me!

Regardless lol...no bears for me. Seriously, we saw a spike and doe all weekend, but sometimes it's like that...*sigh*

Im with ya there too Mray...only seen 1 bear in crap weather...my lil bro says (as we were drying out, driving the truck in a nasty sleet storm) why cant we see a bear cross the road like you hear about?!

3 min later...bear bounces across the road infront of us...funny timing..

That's funny I'll have to start saying that so I'll see more bears closer to a road! :chuckle:

That's kinda like this year for me too! I was scouting with tmike and hanging tree stands for the upcoming Archery elk season and I said to tmike " I'll probably see a bear since I don't have a weapon on me!" Well you know it's murphy's law and I got pinned right where I wanted to hang a stand for about 25 minutes watching a 200 pounder dig something out from under a log! :bash:
