Gazooks - that's a first. I don't think I've ever been in this huckleberry field and not seen at least some poop! Anybody else seeing some weird stuff this year with all the heat? The only thing I saw different in the area is that a small watering hole was dried up so I figured they must have moved on to a better area.... Than a giant hillside of ripe huckleberries :bash:
-
Red or blue huckleberries? I checked my blue huckleberry patch last week and they are still very bitter and zero bear sign. Usually ya have to pack a gun to pick because of the bears.
-
They're blue now. We walked through about a third of the patch to confirm they were ripe and they were IN. Tons of elk in there but no bear :(
-
I have only been seeing bear sign down low, under 1,500'. My huckleberry spot is at 3,600' and zero bear or any other sign.
-
I ran into another bear last night, about 5500' in a swamp patch. I hesistated and didn't get the shot I wanted. Berries are ripe but too hot for these guys I think.

I'm checking my huckleberry patch that's around 5000 this weekend. Surrounded by deep timber so can keep cool and munch some Berries.
