Title: Fog and I couldn't pull the trigger on a huge blond...
Post by: 6.8mmARHunter on August 03, 2013, 07:11:28 PM: Hiked in 4 miles over treacherous terrain with a friend of mine named Alex....

It was mostly fog and no visibility.

Post by: 6.8mmARHunter on August 03, 2013, 07:15:07 PM: Then we spotted this huge blond. It was beautiful. I just couldn't pull the trigger...

I just couldn't do it.

It would have been such a shame.

I was able to snap a pic. It was kind of blurry, but still an OK pic.

The picture of the Huge Blonde was a picture of a Pica, see google:

Seriously though, we hiked, camped, glassed, did some predator calling, glasses some more, saw some bear scat, but didn't see any bruin.

Maybe next weekend.

Peace.
