I wasn't really hunting (going to hit it hard next weekend up by Lake Iforgotitsname), but we were keeping an eye out... Didn't see anything bigger than Alvin (the chipmunk), not even a Deer, or a Goat, nor even a Marmot.
Cathedral Rock, didn't see any Bears:

Fish weren't biting in Peggy's Pond either:

Nothing up by the summit of the East, Middle, or West Peak of Mt. Daniel either:

This was a cool spot, but no Bears:

And this trail (climbers path) over talus, with cliff bands below, and steeper talus below that to Lake Venus really freaked me out (you fall you die). I wasn't even thinking about Bears at that point:

I hope you guys don't mind me posting picture of my wanderings... without any Bears...
Peace
