Title: Did anyone draw Sherman?
Post by: HoofsandWings on March 11, 2015, 10:52:35 AM: I drew it and was wondering if anyone here did?
I am still not sure if I can go. With the nice weather there should be bears everywhere.

The snow should be gone and the plant life should be blooming by May.

When I had chip trucks, I went over Boulder Pass everyday for 5 years and I always saw the first bears in May. One year, I saw 22 up there.
