Title: 8/15 Scouting trip pics.
Post by: jackelope on August 24, 2014, 10:30:38 PM: Since everyone is complaining about a lack of backcountry talk on here, I figure I'd contribute a little something. We took a 3 day trip into the wilderness last weekend and found some good bucks and a bunch of bears. Was a great trip I won't soon forget. I only wish we could have packed that brown color bear off the mountain. Maybe next year. We saw 8 different bears, 4 of which were cubs. 2 bears I'm confident were stud boars. Also saw 4-5 nice bucks. Crummy cell phone pics through the spotting scope but you'll get the idea.
No landscape pics and no locations shared.
