I got the elk all tied up! This bear was hanging 15-20 feet from 3 kids two weeks ago, all under the age of three! He needs to go!!! I was not there but my buddy and his wife were and the bear wouldnt leave. He got the kids inside and eventually boo boo walked away.

My wife and I had a pretty crazy year (another kids, new house)... at this point, I am so excited to get out of the city that I am really just going to unwind and enjoy the outdoors and take in everything I can for the week I will be out there. I was hesitant to head up in the mountains and leave her home with a 22 month old and 1 month old, but she saw all the research I was doing and how I had all my maps out to find somewhere close to home where I could just do a couple of day hunts, and she insisted that I take a week and go out in the woods. Must admit, she is pretty awesome. The only trade off is I have to fly to Maine August 14-22nd to visit her family, so I think she made a good trade :chuckle:

Good luck everyone! I am not too worried if I get one or not, I just can't wait to get back out in the woods and scout for hunting areas while looking for bear (or something like that) :tup:

I've been exploring area's closer to home lately, I just moved to the out skirts of Arlington. The berries are ripening so it should be a good opener. The question is whether to hunt high, low or mid. I'd better figure it out before next weekend.
